Creator's Key Takeaways

the indians on this island they didn't survive they thrived and with foraging it always expanded my horizons

i love aruba because of the rawness of it you know sometimes it can be very sunny and suddenly it rains and all the smells change

we have cacti we have edible flowers we have plants that you can roast them and make something that you can call coffee

we can explore a whole other dimension by eating stuff that we're not used to
