Hola me llamo Sebastián, soy de Cali-Colombia. Biólogo de profesión vivo en la zona rural montañosa. Me encanta viajar en bicicleta, senderismo y pueblear. Trabajó en un alojamiento y otros emprendimientos propios. Usualmente soy guía turístico de naturaleza y me muevo por los Farallones de Cali. Mi pasión es la observación de aves, el trabajo comunitario especialmente pedagógico y de sensibilización ambiental. Formó parte de diferentes colectivos que trabajamos por la conservación de la biodiversidad y la cultura rural. Melomano y cinefilo me gusta aprender mucho sobre música y la cultura local. Interesado especialmente en las tradiciones de los pueblos originarios, la etnobotánica, la búsqueda de la ancestralidad y el buen vivir. Aprendiendo sobre autocultivo, huerta, alimentación consciente, sistemas regenerativos, restauración ecológica, lenguas nativas, jardinería, paisajismo y bioconstruccion.

Si tuviera que elegir una religión tradicional elegiría el budismo. Me interesa el yoga, aikido, tai Chi, I-ching y en general la tradición oriental.

Viajando me encantaría poder recorrer todo el Abya Yala y después saltar a Asia Oriental.

all my travels and the people I met, when I see the nature and the wildlife greatness, when I stop to think and just feel with senses wide open.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Spanish, a little of biology and ecology, dharma
Learn: About you, to play guitar, to plant and crop my own foods, to cook, to dance, to speak other languages and world history, to keep comfortable in silence and don't speak too much (before to say something you must to think: is it true?, is it neccesary?, is it kind?)
Share: music, discussions and debate (make the world), dinner and drinks, walk and cycling around, travels and knowledge
