the magic of Tayrona & the moon

It was a very special experience for me, my first time camping out in the “wild” with all the food on our backs and our resourcefulness for survival.

He spend his 14-16 years of life wondering the Sierra Nevada before he became an artisan living on the beach of Santa Marta among other places. That’s how we met – i wanted to swim and asked him to look after my things while he lay in the shade of his little camp under his jewelry rack and guitar.
