Not related to Ecuador, but hey, we’re all sort of outsiders, and Dag Aabye did live in Argentina for a while.
“Born in Nazi-occupied Norway, Dag Aabye became one of the world’s first extreme skiers, a Hollywood stuntman, a logger and eventually, an ultra-marathoner. Now 82, he lives in a bus in the B.C. bush, running two to six hours a day and occasionally befriending bears. We talk to Aabye and journalist Brett Popplewell, who has written about Aabye’s extraordinary life in Outsider: An Old Man, A Mountain and the Search for a Hidden Past.”
