A 15,000 km Journey Along the Andes
Status: Adventure Completed!
Result: Fundraising goal of $500 reached.
Earth. A finite and the fragile element. An opportunity to learn more about one's limits and strengths.
On November 1, 2005, I stepped
over the equator in Quito, Ecuador. For the next 6 months, I was to travel from the middle of the Earth to the infamous southern tip, Cape Horn, using whatever
means necessary.
It was a memorable journey,
and feel free to share it with me by watching any of the
films below. By selling hard copies of
these videos to family and friends, I was able to raise
over $500 which in turn was donated to charity.
