How Skiing and Snowboarding in the Rockies Helped Me when Traveling and Living in Ecuador

There is an intangible element to travel and adventure, a force that compels one forward, stretching the boundaries between the known and the unknown, The feeling one gets when boarding a plane to sites unseen, the excitement of finding an undiscovered destination, the joy of standing in a small Andean town surrounded by vast stretches of lush green mountains all stem from this vague but welcome element.

New Article about Canoa on Travelsort

I´ve been writing articles here and there for different travel sites as a way to get the word out about some really cool people and places in Ecuador.

Hopefully they help people who are headed this way as guidebooks often get things wrong and they are dated even if it´s a recent edition.
