As published on FestivalSnobs.com

You can’t ask for a better afternoon for a road trip into the woods of the Pacific Northwest. It is a Thursday in the middle of June. The sun is bright and hangs high in the sky. The wind is light and cool. As you make your way to your destination, the brisk air dances along your cheek and awakens each of your senses in a way that releases a pure energy from within. In response, you roll your car window down as far as it goes to hear the strong splashes and surges of the Hood River as it playfully races the stretching road before you. You arrive at the Oregon-Washington border and you take a turn. Your journey continues as you head south… Read More

I grew up in the northernmost suburb of San Diego County, in a nice home with a great family. I was able to play baseball as a kid, go to a good high school, get good grades and then go to college and come out of school debt-free due to scholarship I received.

Compared to the rest of the world, I had a huge leg up. I wasn’t forced to work on my parents’ ranch to pay bills. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to focus on more than paying off debt, raising a child, supporting my grandparents, or simply surviving.

So when I decided to leave the states for 4 months to travel, I made sure it wouldn’t go to waste. I had goals set out for myself.

  1. To experience everything that came my way
  2. To learn from my experiences
  3. To apply what I learned to my life and share it with others Read More

A place with snowcapped mountains that sloped down to crystalline lakes, scattered with trees of green, brown, and orange. For me, the landscape defined “Land Before Time,” relatively untouched by the modern world. Soon after, I came across the word Gaucho, the Argentine Cowboy who cultivates and experiences the land via horseback.

That did it for me. I HAD to go to this place and to experience it in true Gaucho style.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever said this:

“Oh, I’d love to do that, but I can’t afford it.”

That’s exactly where I was. Not only did I realize Read More
