I was born and raise in Maracaibo, Venezuela, but I've been living in Chile for the past two year, trying to find a better life.

I'm a writer, political science mayor and aspiring filmaker... and that's about it.

Beyond the cliché answer of "meeting other people from around the world, etc..." the primary reason I'm here is trying to meet again with an old friend of mine, a European friend...
