ABOUT ME

I am currently in transition between Toronto (Canada) and Pereira (Colombia). I don't have a couch, but I can offer some time and company. Check my list of interests. I could join you in any of these activities! But I am also open to new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycle and hike for days in beautiful places. Jump into all sort of running waters -always clean, though.
I've survived getting lost on the top of a volcano andegtting stung and bitten by all kind of insects.
I have seen a black bear crossing a lake; a black bear climbing a tree and staying there for two days; A gigantic moose running on the highway; An eagle flying in front of our car, just at one meter distance -this kind of shit only happens in Canada.
Many beautiful things.
