Itinerary description

Esteemed and cherish Joanne

I hope this rare letter finds you well and the days in the centre of the world, be treating you wonderfully.

First of all, I wanted to express my heartfelt thanks and I appreciated everything you´ve done for me. I am indebted to the life for your friendship and your time with me. I wanted to take a moment to write you this letter from the bottom of my soul because the purpose of my trips goes beyond the landscapes, places or experiences and it is just about connecting with people like you and sharing the best moments and learnings.

Ecuador, with its diverse landscapes, is a place with unforgettable beauty. From the soaring pics of the high Andes mountains… (those white tops as white as your smile), to the vibrant rainforests and stunning beaches. While I ventured into those mountains I am reminded of your unwavering spirit. Like the majestic peaks, you have an inner strength that allows you to face any adversity with an English courage. Your resilience is as awe-inspiring as the breathtaking vistas that stretch as far as the eye can see.

You showed me Quito, nestled amidst the mountains, is a perfect reflection of your strength and resilience. Much like Quito stands against the rugged Andean peaks, you have overcome numerous challenges in life and continue to persevere. Those parks like La Carolina or Ejido, those places like Alameda or the Ronda, were the gateway to the lushness of the vibrant, life-filled Ecuadorian Jungles.

The rainforest, after Puyo, with that lush greenery and teeming wildlife, are reminiscent of your vibrant energy and joy. Your adventurous spirit and thirst for knowledge bring life and excitement to every situation. Just as the jungle bursts life, you illuminate the space around you, with your enthusiasm.

I finally arrived to the Ecuadorian and Peruvian Beaches, with their golden sands and the crashing waves from the great Pacific Ocean, that remind me of the tranquillity and serenity you bring to me in my stormy and pessimist mind. You really were a soothing balm, providing me peace and continuity to my meditative journey.

Finally, I hope that one day we can once again share and ride together, regardless of the place or weather, because what matters is the meaning that you support has had recovery and also for my personal growth and ultimate triumph.

Dear friend, take care and may the road ahead be filled with joy and success.

Sincerely
Marius.

    Estimado amigo Rafael, muchas gracias por su valoración. El tiempo no me ha permitido publicar desde noviembre, pero poco a poco me voy actualizando. Este año, he hecho también algunas rutas, aunque pocas, por la misma razón. Espero siga también con sus travesías y que todo le salga bien.
