Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Meet the most quantity of people, experiences and places as possible. Enjoy every moment in the Earth. (Conocer la mayor cantidad de gente, experiencias y lugares posibles. Disfrutar cada momento en la Tierra).
ABOUT ME
Borned in Argentina, I've been raised between Buenos Aires and Barcelona, city in which I live now. Since my childhood I've understood the diversity of the world and the importance of every cultural prism.
Music is my passion, what I study and my work. I play guitar & violin. I've been in symphonic orchestras, vocal choirs, gypsy jazz groups, etc., and specially Progressive Rock groups. I wrote the music of some films too, and I have played with Manu Chao!
Besides music, I love to take photos, and I've a fascination for adventure (trekking, mountains, hitchiking). I used to write a blog with my travel stories:

I love Art in general, and I like sports too (football, ping pong, running, biking). I'm a big fan of Argentinean football team BOCA JUNIORS.
PHILOSOPHY
Agnostic transcendentalist, loving Henry Thoreau and Jack Kerouac.
