One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

wow thats really hard... being lost up in the Andes as it was getting cold and dark and hope was disappearing with the sun...I saw a beautiful huge Condor fly over head letting me know its all going to be good :)

meeting a woman in Pucalpa that felt like she was from another dimension, Raven black hair, a face that was so striking that my eyes froze with my mind telling me " dont stare" later after our ceremony to be told that she had seem everything I had seen in my head that journey and that it was all going to work out.....

It's been a while since I wrote all
Of that another wonderful thing I was involved in a few years ago was living and working at a refugee camp in Ghana working with former child soldiers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Quechua as well as Spanish or English. I'm also an artist I can share that skill :)

I'd like to learn - about your native language and traditional medicines, knowledge and practices.
