Statement:
"Outdoor experiences are the best school for us to grow in values and resilience. Experiencing the contrast of nature in a developing society can allow us to have a better perspective of our surroundings and educate us on making better decisions that will have an impact on the future of society and the sustainability of our beloved planet. I choose to share the most beautiful places I value, so others can be aware of the gifts of nature while having fun , being safe and enjoying sports and activities that fill our hearts. I hope that ecotourism can bridge our love of sports with the conservation of nature and give us a better long term oversight of our planet and highlight the importance of diversity and respect for all living beings."
