We are a family of 5 living an unorthodox life. We are in search of a certain freedom, an unclear truth, an awaited calmness.

We believe in constant reinvention and the pursuit of knowledge from within.

We want our children (ages 11, 8 and 5) to be freethinkers; they have never attended school nor have been homeschooled in conventional ways.

We are self taught filmmakers and interdisciplinary artists from Mexico and the US, but mainly we are seekers.

Through the years we’ve explored and delved in a handful of things; ancient breathing techniques, finding underground water, old food fermentation methods, prolonged fasting, home birthing, segment sleeping, sungazing...

We have been making feature films for the last decade and a half.

We regularly give lectures and workshops at universities and have shown our films in museums, galleries and film festivals around the world. We pursue themes such as utopia and anti- utopia, historical fiction merged with documentation of the future, the pursuit of solitude, of love, of death and the origin of man.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are new to couchsurfing. For the last 3 years we have hosted more than 100 people on workaway that we have received as true friends. We decided to abandon our remote farm in the countryside of West Turkey to continue this nomadic-gypsy life we have chosen for ourselves.

We decided to move to Albania where we have never been to nor know anyone- which we find terribly exciting.

We are not necessarily looking for a place to sleep, we are mostly looking for interesting connections and a good laugh.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We have reinvented ourselves many times in the past. We have gone into the desert in solitude and silence.

We have lived this life in the past and we will live this life again, in exact ways, in different ways.

Teach, Learn, Share

We want to share life, in the most simplest ways.
