About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling a bit of Southeast Asia

ABOUT ME

I´m a solo traveller. I was born and raised in Argentina, where I studied Computer Science and Films. After working in IT for a few years, I got bored of the office lifestyle and decided to travel indefinitely to learn about the world and enjoy different cultures.
After 8 years moving around, I'm not yet quite done with nomad life.

PHILOSOPHY

Life must be understood backward. But it must be lived forward
