CURRENT MISSION

A traveler must always keep traveling.

ABOUT ME

Hey everyone! My name is Diego and I am currently living in Santiago, Chile. Born to a British maternal family, I've traveled a little throughout my life. I spent 12 years performing in an orchestra which brought me to Europe then changing plans to work at the Walt Disney Company which took me all the way to the United States. I am very outgoing and I enjoy going out, dancing, having deep conversations, listening to music, singing and mostly of all, watching movies. I love the ocean and the mountains, the beach and the snow. Nature is my delight.

4:20 enthusiast.

In my daily routine, I mostly speak English.

Sometimes, I get bullied by my friends because I may live mentally in the 90's.

Whike at the orchestra, we went on tours and basically grew up with a bunch of very talented people. I learnt a lot from them. Later I moved our of the country which made me leave it. I worked for 5 years in the hospitality and entertainment business until I figured I didn't want to stay there for the rest of my life.

For the last 2 years, I've been pursuing a writing career. I'm currently working at a Film Production company. It makes me really happy.

I dislike shallow, judgmental and disrespectful people.

I'd love to have a drink!

PHILOSOPHY

This one is really hard! I think too much most of the time, haha, but mainly I believe that good things come to those who do good. I believe in karma.
