About Me

I´m a creative person, so i´m passionate about all expressions of art, it could be from painting to cooking. I enjoy time learnig new ways of doing thinks.
I´m happy and friendly person, easy - going, tidy, responsable and respectful.
I enjoy meeting people, knowing different ways of life, learning new ways of living, meeting travelers and listening life stories that never imagined.
I desided to be an industrial designer because i love creating things that have a strong meaning for the person that uses, creating meanings of belonging through culture as base. So i found in traveling an interesting way of feelling that ways of living that will help me to develop objets. The objects around us and how we use them talk about us, and also it talks about our place, our country, our culture, our way of living. Knowing new people we can extend this limits and also learn new meanings of same things.

I was born and raised in Córdoba Argentina, a big city, the second largest city in the country, it is situated in the middle of the country, where live arround 1,5 millon people. Is known for the wonderfull countryside that where you could found lovely rivers, charm valleys surrounded by nature and different atractions to do. I grew up in a middle class neighborhood, I do my school studies in a small and familiar school of the neighborhood and after that I decided to study design. I used to spend my holidays with friends at firs travelling arround Argentina, then to bordering countries as brazil, uruguay and peru where I started to discover my passion for travel. After finish the university in 2010 I spent a year in my first Working Holiday Visa discovering the amazing new zealand and this way of traveling, working and make you travel more, meet new friends, and the most importat think growing much personally and expanding borders to be a better person.
I went back to Argentina in 2011 and I spend 4 years at home, working on development of solid wood furniture in family business that not only made me feel if I was part of them, also helped me grow a lot professionally.
But I think as it is sais i´m a little bit infected of the bug traveler, so here I am doing my second experience in working holiday life in Australia.
