Wild Ideas Worth Living

Hiking Patagonia in a Wheelchair with Alvaro Silberstein

When Alvarez Silberstein was 18 years old, he was in a car accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down. Before his accident, Alvaro had a dream to go Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia. Once he started using a wheelchair, he assumed it would be impossible for him to fulfill this dream. But in 2017, Alvaro and his incredible friends organized a trip to make his wild idea a reality.Connect with Alvaro: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alvasil/" target="_blank">Instagram </a>Wheel the World <a href="https://wheeltheworld.com/" target="_blank">website</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wheeltheworld/" target="_blank">Instagram </a>Episode sponsor:Shop <a href="https://www.rei.com/b/teva/c/all" target="_blank">Teva</a>If you enjoyed this episode: Check out <a href="https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/rei-editors-choice-awards.html?cm_mmc=vanity-_-editors-choice" target="_blank">REI’s Fall/Winter 2023 Editor’s Choice Awards</a> Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
