About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world, Enjoy!

ABOUT ME

After working on my own project for almost 4 years in Argentina, I decided to move to Bangalore, India to work for an IT company. Life in India was crazy but I really liked it! Once my contract finished I started traveling and what was supposed to be a 3-month trip ended up being a 1 year around the world trip.
I ran out of money and I did not want to go back to Argentina so I started looking for a job in Europe and got one in Madrid, so I just stayed here.

After 4 years in Madrid, I moved to Australia and did the big lap during covid.

After a year and a half in Australia I went back to Spain and moved to the coastal city of Alicante.

I'm usually in a good mood and hardly ever have "bad days", after all we only live once so better to do it with a smile.

I'm also a big fun of sports, specially soccer and tennis (Go Roger and Rafa!).

PHILOSOPHY

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, And the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared

If you want something in life, just reach out and grab it.
