About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, meet people and hopefully find my mission...

ABOUT ME

I'm an active 32 year old explorer from Ecuador-Chile. I grew up in an organic farm in the valley of Tumbaco. Since I was 7 I discovered a desire to explore and travel, to get out of the bounderies of comfort. My bike was always my companion.
At the moment I live in an organic farm and work as a sound designer for film documentaries. I love outdoor sports specilly Mt.biking and rock climbing.
For the last 6 months I've been traveling around Nepal, India and South East Asia trying to meet people that are pasionate about their work, their activities and their lives. stories that inspire me and hopefully will inspire other people.
