What do you get when you come across a big-hearted world traveler from Spain, an architect friend from Belgium he met along the way, five hectares of jungle, fifteen locals to help work the land, and a dream to establish an organic farm and orphanage to serve the people of the island of Palawan? A full days work helping transplant banana trees, and perhaps my next project ;-).
In November 2009, I set off for an extended backpacking trip through South America. The plan: in six months, travel from Rio to Bogota, visiting old friends and exploring new sights along the way. Three months into the journey, and still in Brasil, my original idea (and return flight) were scrapped, and life set free in this great big world began.
