About Me

I'm a filmmaker from Buenos Aires. I love to travel and meeting new people. I think traveling is the best way to know about other cultures.
I'm very interested in ancestral and indigenous traditions. My first film "Icaros" explores the spiritual world of the shipibo culture in the Peruvian Amazon.
My second film 'Tara´s footprint' that takes place in the fascinating Himalayas, portraying the life of the Bhutia and Leptcha people living in a remote community in Sikkim, India.
I believe that films are powerful esthetic tools to share the profoundness of ancestral cultures around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people from all the world is a unique opportunity to know other cultures and keep an open minded vision.
