Male Female

I'm going to talk about one special birthday that I remember happened two years ago. I live in Bogota, which is a very hectic city where stress is very common. Fortunately, for my birthday, the one I want to talk about today, I was invited to a small town that is about two hours from this city called Utica. There, you can do extreme sports, and that's what I did. The first thing is that when I arrived, I felt at peace because it's a small town and it has amazing natural landscapes; they're breathtaking as well. In addition, it was a surprise. I didn't know where I was going. My girlfriend never mentioned anything, so that was a really good idea. It was an outstanding plan. It happened during a weekend, and we also went camping, which is something I enjoy doing. It appeals to me a lot since I feel full of energy in that place.
