One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One was in Zimbawe in a National Park, I was in a truck during the sunset, and sudenly 8 giraffes appeared from no where, they were walking slowly and kindly and this was really amazing.
The other was when I arrived to the top of the Cayambe Mountain, a snow mountain in Ecuador, was the dawn, and from the top I was seeing other snow summits above the clouds, the ligth and the moment was awesome.
The last was in the Macarena National Park in Colombia, I spent about 8 months following a herd of monkeys, the first time I found a puma (one of our "big wild cats") was an awestruck and high voltage moments in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show my city in the way a perceive it. I can teach meditation, I can show nice hicking places around Bogota. I´m good cooking. I will love to share experiences from people from different cultures and countries. I can share my time to discover places that I don´t now here. I'm not a drug consumer, so if you are planning to come to Colombia with this intention please do not contact me.
