I live a busy life in the city. And sometimes I really need to experience nature. Enjoy the extended views of beautiful landscapes. Enjoy a nice song of a lovely bird. Walk in the woods and smell de sent of fresh leafs. Experience nature like it is meant to be... Sometimes I do miss the nature of Ecuador.
