One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- A two-day bike ride with a little kitten in a box attached to my bike (including smuggling over a boarder and getting funny looks when she started miaouing)
- Standing on one of the highest points in Central America (Cerro Chirripo, CR) after a two-day hike and instead of seeing both oceans, being hulled into thick fog
- I treated in one month 2400 cows on a french farm

Teach, Learn, Share

I like music like no other thing and play the guitar. I can teach you as well how to treat cows the right way! And finally, I could introduce you into the great sport of kitesurfing (if there are winds...)!
