About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live the human-on-earth experience as fully as possible.

ABOUT ME
I work as a filmmaker for several international agencies such as Al Jazeera, CNN, BBC and many others, mostly covering high risk situations who have shown me the darkest and yet the brightest side of the human race, when it is too much I shoot commercials to get money and then travel.

Here's a link to some of my work. https://vimeo.com/santaluciafilms

I like to observe people, probably the travels I've been on have been more character building than the books I've read.

I think everyone should visit the world on a bicycle. If you're looking for an amazing tour in Mexico City just let me know.

PHILOSOPHY
I film to try to understand the human behavior or to bear the fact that it is impossible to do so.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met this girl from Colombia here (Ana Canoa) and gave her some work on the advertising industry but that was it! Hope she's doing' ok!

Interests

I've been around and I know how to take care of myself. Most of the time I won't ask for a place to stay but instead I'll look for a local I can trust to show me the real side of any place.

I respect everyone everywhere specially people who is not afraid of who they are.
