Algo increíble que he hecho

In the past fourteen years I have traveled to fourteen countries. One of my most memorable moments was visiting a remote village in the border of China and Vietnam. I was part of the first group of mourners invited by the people's Republic of China to meet an ancient community called the Back Swans. This unforgettable experience has been a highlight of my life.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

As a photographer, I love teaching people how to capture great images, how to appreciate the light, shadows; contrast and composition. I often find myself just teaching people how to capture real moments even with their mobile phones. I'm a big fan of iphoneography.
I', also very open to learning from people's experiences and the cultural differences that can surely enrich life.
I love sharing my stories of traveling around the world and working on projects with indigenous and minority groups from Asia, Central, and South America.
