Extreme Paragliding

I know, the title is an oxymoron. Paragliding is very very safe far from extreme. This is basically something that happened last year in Colombia and I think it was something like this… Luis and I were in this very small town in Colombia and we heard this town was famous for some “extreme” sports [...]

Gambling Like a Pro

Is somewhat of a generalization that the life of poker players is full of gambling. Depending of your definition of gambling I will have to agree to some extent.
