About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep alive, enjoy and learn about & with wild nature

ABOUT ME

I live, because and for the nature.

[I am a Spanish guy who´s living in a dream: in the wild of my farm in the Amazon rain forest. A "place" that I always dreamed to know. I always believed I don´t have many opportunities to visit, but now has become my home!!]

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live
Respect for the others any matter they make them different from me
Learn as much as possible
Show people that there are other ways of life/living than "ours"
