"What’s really attracting me in South America, it’s all the mysteries you encounter while exploring the continent. The legacy from immemorial times is still very palpable."

The first time I was in touched with the Latin American culture was in Mexico and I immediately fell in love with the language and the lifestyle. I’ve spent few months discovering the country, its amazing beaches, lush jungles and various archaeological sites. After Mexico, I crossed the border to Guatemala where I was even more impressed by the culture, colorful markets and indigenous traditions. I felt so comfortable in the country that I decided to buy four horses with a friend, and we went on a pilgrimage for a month through the mountains and volcanoes. This expedition became one of the most amazing and life changing experience we could have wished for.
Few years later I have made my way further south where I discovered the amazing country that is Peru. This is where I have had the blessing to meet the wonderful lady who became my wife. It was then clear to me that I wanted to spend more time in South America. I’m now very happy to live in Cusco near so many ancient wonders and have the chance to contemplate the Andes peaks every day.
