Introduction

I grew up climbing the volcanoes in Ecuador as a child and camping out there. I have been organizing adventures on meetup.com for 5 years and now I have founded this group to meet others who share my passion for the great outdoors and veggies.

Are you a vegan, vegetarian or veggie friendly? How long? Why?

Vegan. I don't like to kill or enslave sentient beings for the sake of my pleasure when I live in a society where being a vegan is easy. In addition the environmental cost is too high. Vegan for the past 8 years, vegetarian 2.

What is your favorite outdoor activity?

Mountaineering and ice climbing

What is your favorite season?

Winter!!! I count the days down to the next winter once winter is over.

Tell us about your most memorable adventure outdoors.

My six day backpacking trip to Banff Mountain National Park of Canada. Each day was more amazing than the next.

  • Hey Francisco,

    Glenn and I, should be in the adirondacks way earlier than most of all the people going on the March 2, backpacking trip. But, we don't know exactly where should we camp out and meet you, since you wrote two different locations on the meetup page. could you please give us an exact location? Thank you

  • Yo. I JUST RSVP'd for Tuesday night @ Banff. Should I paypal you the money or purchase tix on my own? Sorry I'm such a slacker.

  • Francisco,
    I will not be able to go on the The Adirondacks in December, hiking, ice climbing or XC skiing trip. We have a prior commitment I forgot about. Could you please refund my $66? my email is [masked]. Thanks so much.

  • Hello Francisco and congratulations on a wonderful meetup! I'm a vegan too (of 40 years!) and would love to join...if only I could, since I've passed my primary. lol!
    It may take longer than other categories but eventually you'll get more vegetarians to join and learn from you to be vegan. There may be more veggie people to join than people who like, and/or can, do rough sports. This too may take longer but they'll come around if you are patient. Good luck! :)
