Based in Tabio, Cundinamarca, Herbie operates Tuwa Shima Santuario, an ecological project documenting the intersection of permaculture and sustainable tourism in the Colombian Andes. He focuses on bio-construction education, specifically detailing the technical challenges of building specialized structures like the Earth Yurt and the Woodland Yurt. Professionally, he has established cross-industry partnerships with local artisans such as Jorge the fique lamp maker and textile creator Juan Pablo Romero to integrate traditional Colombian craftsmanship into modern eco-lodgings. A recent milestone for the project is its selection as an official accommodation partner for the Medio Maratón de Cundinamarca, a designation that connects his rural retreat with regional athletic events. He utilizes deep-dive formats like the podcast feature on Colombia Calling to discuss the transition to rural life and the development of his sensory medicinal garden. His content serves as a resource for eco-conscious travelers and builders interested in low-impact living and regenerative systems.
