Heidi Ayarbe

I spent 23 years growing up and living in Nevada then have spent the last almost-17 living and traveling around the world with my Colombian husband. I've gone down Class IV Rapids (called THE FROG BLENDER) on my butt in Nepal, been thrown down by gusts of wind hiking in Torres del Paine, gone gator looking in the Amazon, and have climbed up a Mayan pyramid at midnight during a full moon.

I have settled in Colombia, South America with my husband and two daughters. When I'm not thinking "what if", I spend my time wiping pureed food substances off my clothes and
