About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world and gain wisdom from all edges of the planet.

ABOUT ME

I am spontaneous and love adventures. I have one life, I enjoy it to the fullest.

I was born in Mexico, but lived all over the southwestern USA and a short time in Barcelona. Now I live in Los Angeles working on movies and events.

I like meeting new people, eating good food, hiking, dancing (or at least what I think is dancing), photography, and many other random fun things.

PHILOSOPHY

Só Alegria!

Live for today, because tomorrow is not promised.

The modern explorer does not travel to uncharted lands, but explores the land and reaches into the depth of the people.
