Travel Pro Interviews #1: Lobitos Peru! @intrepidsurfer's Steem Funded Reforestation Project! (Video)

in #travel6 years ago

I recently had the pleasure to meet up with the @intrepidsurfer who has been living in the dry, arid, yet beautiful surf town of Lobitos Peru for over six years. He has assimilated himself into the community to the point where he is a real valuable member not only supplying the town with fresh baked bread but taking it upon himself with his steem funded reforestation project.

In this poverty stricken part of the world, most people don't have enough money to buy gas to cook their food. So over the years the landscape has become extremely barren as the locals have cut down all the trees to use as fuel.

After several days hanging out with the @intrepidsurfer I consider him not only a great guy but a true friend. Here in this first Travel Pro Interview he'll explain more about how he is turning Steem into trees and giving back to a lovely community that has welcomed him for years without asking for anything in return. Enjoy! -Dan "World Travel Pro!"

Thank you so much for introducing us to this guy Dan! I love what he has been doing. Very similar to the great efforts of @martin.mikes who has been working on saving a mountain forest in Cameroon. I am definitely gonna support @intrepidsurfer. So happy to find out there are people out there who use Steemit for such amazing purposes!

Besides all that, he is like a real smart and fun guy to hang out with. Class act all the way! So happy to shed a bit of light on this new friend of mine and see him gain the support of others like yourself!
