(projects i'm involved in)
I grew up inbetween the city of Bogota, Colombia and Guatavita a small town with a strong indigenous background and sacred indigenous lake. At a young age I began to practice permacutlure, as I picked berries and apples from the families orchards. Later in life I decided to get a B.A in Community Studies focusing in Sustainable Agriculture and a second B.A in Latin American Studies focusing in thigenous population at the University of California Santa Cruz. I participated as a volunteer in several ecovillages and sustainable projects, such as Inan Itah in Nicaragua, and Aldeafeliz. I also learned other permaculture practices such as bikemachines, composting toilets, and other practices from indigenous tribes such as the Waunan, Cocama, and Arhuaco- Kogi. I decided to live in a healthy relation with the living earth to make a prosperous and clean planet for the next generations to come. I am currently living at the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta foothills, a strong energetic center where I practice permaculture, I farm and construct cob houses, implement dry toilets among other projects here at the eco-family with tje prospect of becoming an eco-village.
