I love writing, but sometimes I lack the words to adequately describe my experiences. A few key ideas though: hiking/climbing, hopping on busses from the side of the road, burpees on the beach in the Amazon, house calls in Chone, horseback riding in the Andes, ziplining in Mindo, eating half of a chicken for dinner (as well as Guinea pig, chicken foot, cow stomach, fried blood and every fruit ever), riding in the back of pickups, occasional bouts with my intestines and loving life. Check out the photos, there’s a story behind each one!
