About Me

CURRENT MISSION
A peaceful mind, a healthy body, a soul full of love and a happy life.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Santiago de Chile but I grew up in a town in the countryside until finish the school. When I was 18 years old, I moved to Valparaiso for study architecture in the university. I lived 2 years there, then my parents arrived to the city, they bought a little house in the beach of Concón, and there we lived until finish the university. During those years I made very good friends and I started to practice Ashtanga yoga, a kind of meditation with became in the most important thing in my life since 8 years ago. Later, I moved to Santiago for work in an office of landscape architecture. 3 months later, I got a very good job in the local government, where we design the public spaces of the city. Santiago is a big and cool city, but I want to move to another country next year. Now I am living in Sydney, looking for a new life here with the koalas :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Easter Island. The story of the place is terrible, many slaves, a lot of deaths, pests, and problems with the food. But the place have an amazing energy, It is an island in the middle of the Pacific, with a tropical weather, gorgeous beaches, interesting people, volcanos and moais. A lot of energy. And the men are like Rambo.

The other travel was to El Bolson, in the Argentinian Patagonia. It’s a hippie village, were I learn about sustainability, natural buildings, green roofs, and how you can grow your own food. Hippies friends from all the world. Many mountains, and you can swim naked in the crystalline river.
