Who I Am

From an early age, growing up in Colorado to Polish and Colombian immigrant parents, I developed a profound appreciation for the outdoors and the diverse world around us. This unique upbringing has fueled my passion for exploration and storytelling.

My Journey So Far

My adventures began with international soccer training in Poland and evolved into epic bikepacking journeys across the US, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, and Brazil. This disciplined approach to exploration has led me to run multiple 100+ mile ultras through the mountains and delve deeper into my Latin American roots.

My goal has always been to connect deeply with the land, people, and cultures of each place I visit and to share these experiences with a broader audience.
