One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'll always remember my first pacific coast, south america, sunset. It was on a bus in the middle of nowhere on the ruta del sol in ecuador. All the windows were open, the salsa and merengue was blaring and the road hugged the shoreline for miles allowing uninterrupted views of the massive display of colors over long stretches of white sand beaches.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've traveled extensively in ecuador, so feel free to ask me anything you might care to know about this wonderful country.I've taught guitar lessons and know a little about music theory, how to build a webpage, and have lots of experience camping and backpacking. I've given capoeira lessons and am always open to sharing and receiving input from anyone regarding anything i do. I practice capoeira and am learning to play the charango, kena, and zampoña.
