A little #introduction for the nostr community... I left Canada 2 months before the covid pandemic to go to Ecuador and work on a food forest, planning to return in 3 months. When I got to Ecuador I quickly found out the guy who said he would pay me and pay my flight back was incapable of doing so. With no money, no place to stay, and a strong will to not ask anyone back home for help, I started doing handstands in traffic lights. In just a few hours daily I would earn enough to pay a room, all the food I wanted, and bus passes to visit new cities. 3 days before the 2020 quarantine #agenda21, I crossed to border into Peru to meet a native family in Pucallpa who invited me to drink Ayahuasca for free. Once the quarantine started, I found myself stuck in the northern jungle for 2 months before I gained the courage to continue hitchhiking to Pucallpa. I made it there, drank Ayahuasca about 15 times in a month, and kept traveling as far as I could. eventually I decided to spend some time in Cusco and gain more experience with Ayahuasca and a cactus called San Pedro. I started adventuring through the mountains, finding fossils and crystals, healing myself on another level. i went a year and 5 months barefoot without ever putting my foot in any kind of footwear. I never drank alcohol once, quit smoking cannabis, stopped using the internet for months at a time, and even saw UFOs for the first time in my life on multiple occasions. after 4 and a half years, the journey and self-discovery continue, more free and living life beyond what I once dreamt possible. #travellers #viajeros #livefree #blessed #saved #adventurer #inspire

life becomes more magical the more I learn to let go of all I thought I needed. forgot to mention I handstanded for a little more than a week, went on to selling salads a week, then spent over 4 years meditating in public to pay all my travels and adventures.
thank you, going to be uploading video content little by little that I've recorded over the past year, you can find it on rumble and YouTube at the moment @plutonian747
