Many have asked me why I have this mark and this dimple on my cheekbone. Today I'm going to tell you the true story of the accident that scarred my face when I was 12 years old, hitching rides in Bogotá.
In this video, I'll tell you about those days as street kids in the Socorro neighborhood, fishing on Lake Timiza, and our bad habit of hitching rides on trucks. I'll tell you in detail about the day we climbed onto a semi-truck, the driver braked suddenly, and I hit my face so hard it fractured my facial bone. I'll also tell you how we ended up traveling all the way to Neiva to cheer on the team at the stadium.
Have you ever traveled hitching rides or hitched rides on a truck? Let me know in the comments; I'm reading them all.
