About Me

CURRENT MISSION

6 Months in South America, explore and enjoy

ABOUT ME

I´m spending 6 months away from home to try and see and experience as much of S America as possible.
At some point, maybe Santiago or Bogota, I hope to get some work teaching English for about one month. Not for the money but for the experience of living and working in another country.
I enjoy the idea of travel to see places and meet people, be among them and talk to them. See, eat, taste, look at things that I can´t see at home

PHILOSOPHY

I may get hit by a bus tomorrow so try to live every day, make the most of each day.
Be nice.
Everyone is different, accept it and allow for it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music with a beat.
While in S America I´d like to see some live Latin bands, see the locals dance. It´s so energetic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Since I´ve been in S America, the place that has really stuck for me is the 4 days I spent in Serrere, near the Madidi National Park in the Amazon Basin, just wonderful.
White water rafting on the Zambezi.
Snorkelling off the coast of the islands of Thailand.
Rode the ´Death Road´ in Bolivia, its worth it doing just for the scenery.
Afive day walk to Siklis in Nepal.
