Fitz Roy
lenga forests
half-naked running...booya!

the cumbre
the following pictures can speak for themselves...
I had to do some breakdancing on the top of this mountain for my Korean students
these got me here
condors soaring high above
there was nothing shrimp about that mountain, it kicked my butt!
I'm not done yet!
a fishing shop that was closed. reason: “I went fishing”
