Foreigners in the Valley of Longevity

Glenn Clayton on seeding new ways of life in Vilcabamba

Why does one decide to change his life? Why does one play music and sing for a new dawn?

In this (primarily english) interview, longtime expat and Vilcabamban Glenn Clayton reflects on the decision to move here. For his own life and for the many waves of foreigners who’ve similarly changed their lives, Glenn speaks to the value of this valley and the hope it offers. He acknowledges that it may be naive to believe in a new dawn, but he chooses to believe anyway rather than living as many addicts, conspiranoids and nihilists of Vilcabamba do. He chooses hope, whether correct or foolish, because that hope inspires him to play music and to live.
