I had a few weeks between projects and took my time enjoying a self made path from the amazon to the mountain tops, 66kg of gear including food and cooking equipment. slept in a hammock while in the forest and in my tent above treeline. simply theist amazing experience of my life.

I was the only person up there the three days I spent at the top of the andes before hiking to the nearest road and hitchhiking the 9 hours back to a city. Every view, sunrise, sunset and starscape were seemingly customized for my arrival. I've never had any photography training (i learned everything living in a tent hoping to share the frogs I was studying) and now work as a sunglass salesman inbetween to fund my adventures. When things line up and I obtain the opportunity to go, I try to make it as memorable as possible.
