The first thing I like to say about David Jackson of Cuenca Nerd, is that he gets things done. Always.
I have many problems in my life related to technology and I’m happy that I know David, because he always has the ability to solve them. Always
David is smart, creative, committed to his profession, extraordinarily competent, and extremely professional.
He makes sure that I’m up-to-date with the latest new developments. For example, he introduced me to Chat GPT seven months ago, well before any my friends had heard of it.
Because of David, I have access to over 1000 TV channels in the US, access to virtually any movie, current or classic, and it works all great
Other than that, I can’t say much else good about him.
Actually there is one other thing.
Sometimes my problems need to be fixed ASAP!! David will do a remote access to my computer, and solve my problem promptly.
For me that is a very nice benefit.
Having David as my problem solver has help me deal constructively with the rapid evolution of technology. Whether I need advice on buying a laptop, or help in recovering my lost phone, David is always there.
By helping me deal with the mysterious world of technology, he has reduced by frustration and enhanced my happiness enormously.
I’m think he can do the same thing for you.

I recently enjoyed a fabulous four days with my son in the Amazon, near Puyo.
We were the guests of Michael Vargas, a very old soul, and remarkable man.
The accommodations are rustic, but comfortable.
I learned so many things about the indigenous way of life, from the food they ate, the technology they have developed over the last over the last 2000 years, and the pleasures of their daily life.
Michael had different interesting and enjoyable activities scheduled for each day I was there. From hiking to waterfalls, watching how native handicraft is done, shopping at a very authentic indigenous gift shop, etc.
To me the highlight of the trip, was the celebration of my son’s birthday. Michael supplied the cake, I supplied $20 for whiskey, and my son had a birthday he will never forget, surrounded by a whole coterie of new best friends.
Michael truly knows how to treat his guests as if they are his family, and he loves doing so.
Michael is not only a fabulous host, but he is also building his own sustainable community. His intention is to be able to supply all of his guests solely from his land. He told me his next project was to to get several beehives so he will not need to buy sugar.
If you are looking for a way to have good if you time with the authentic jungle experience, this is the guy!!
