About Me

As per November 2019 - I 'm currently living in Schoneweide, Berlin. I can host some people from time to time as long as I'm in the city. Not the biggest of the apartments, but works out for travelers for sure.

CURRENT MISSION

Making a revolution on video making!

ABOUT ME

I'll be joking most of the time. But I have a high record of making people laugh!

Currently traveling around the world with kiremico.com and filming musicians around the world as much as making product promotion videos and photography.

I am basically a nomad production company and I'm super curious about how people live and think. The most important thing humans have is the ability to learn from each other.

Happy to connect with musicians, artists, and anybody that would like to get a video taken and also others who don't want to get a video taken :)

PHILOSOPHY

Think about how you to want to be remembered when you'll not be in this world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosted some couch surfers in the past when I was in Buenos Aires, Argentina and in Lille. After that, I've been living a pretty nomadic life, but I always enjoyed and valued this platform.

Did a lot of CouchSurfing in Argentina and Europe about 5 years ago and now looking to do some Couchsurfing in Berlin while I'll be shooting videos there in April / May 2019.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted some Couch Surfers in the past and everybody who hosted me after that was super cool! It is always a great platform for

Interests

Photography, design, video making, economy talks, and cooperative work for a better understanding of people needs.

I am an avid reader of the Economist Magazine since 2011 when I moved to France. I have a mindset in which I think progress is key for humans to live better.

As we all have different views, I would like to cook a Tuna Pie that we can share and talk about it.

I like cooking Gnocchis when I have time and the kitchens is big, so let me know how's your situation and you won't regret.

Music, Movies, and Books

No Logo, by Naomi Klein
The Big Lebowski, by the Cohen Bros.
Oskar Niemeyer architecture
Los Detectives Salvajes / 2666 , de Robert Bolaño
Toyota Production Methods.

I like the work of Heinz Emigholz about architecture. Great work and cool to check with others.

I've been consuming mainly social realism films in the last years such as Weaving Girl from Wang Quan'an or Rosetta from the Dardennes brothers are those that I appreciate the most lately.

New Argentinian Cinema, like Bolivia, Los Guantes Magicos.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Remember one Tuesday in January 2004 while I was working in Idaho. it was 2 am in the morning, it was snowing, and my friends and I were celebrating somebody's birthday in a natural hot tube in the middle of the mountain, drinking wine, inside the water and the snow coming from a violet sky... just amazing...

Watching the Sun coming out in San Diego at 6 am in the morning. A mix of colors in the Air that I'm still not able to process. Teals and Pinks that do not exist in real palettes.

Learning to drive motorbikes in a parking lot in the middle of Faridabad with people that I have no idea who they were...

Things like that fill the life of anybody.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty good with the sewing machines, and electricity issues. I worked/lived in different countries, and love share stories.

I enjoy asking people questions about their dreams and how they see the world now and in the future. Love to learn as much as I also enjoy to work. Some people may call me a workaholic, but I get really passionate about the things that I like doing and I love doing them the best possible way.

I did a bunch of things in my life, such as Textile Manufacturing, Adobe Suite, Electronic manufacturing in China, Coding in Belgium, Barbecue Making in Argentina, bathroom fixing in France, Textile Chemical tester, videographer in China and around the world.

I love learning and try doing it, that is my passion.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to discover what they dream and do. I have my camera with me most of the time, so a short documentary about their house could be a great moment of enjoyment :)

Whether you are a musician or any other type of artist, I would be happy to take my Sony 6500 and my Gimbal stabilizer and get you a nice videography moment of our shared time.
