About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Plant as many trees as I can and Travel Around The World

ABOUT ME

I come from Medellin - Colombia, living in the South West of Antioquia, the Colombia Andes in a beloved town call "Jardín"

Jardín, the place that caught me in a second, I fell in love at first sight, where every corner is full of colors, the simplicity that i have been looking for many years, a place with amazing mountains, great hikes, breathtaking landscapes, secret waterfalls, specialty coffee.

After falling in love with Jardín I have established a Tour Agency to show the best of our region developing over 30 experiences, more information check our IG´s
