So before I plunge head first in the holiday season (and well deserved vacation from work!), I wanted to drop you a few lines and send you my best wishes for Christmas and the beginning of year 2017 ! ►►►
Back in September, as I was backpacking through Southern Peru, I received an email from Sportive Plus, asking me if I wanted to take part to the filming of a 4-clip campaign that would be launched before the holidays. ►►►
