About Me

***SPANISH BELOW***

Hello! Thanks to come here to read my personal writing description. I´m a travel and documental photographer and writer. I travel because I love to and it became my work :)

I started to travel in 2016 going around South America and the 7 months that I traveled in my 20 years was a huge beginning for me and my career as an artist. I saw some countries and live many experiences. That time I become an ADVENTURER, so I travel looking for every history and every feeling that is the result of my way to experience my world location. Today I just can´t stop this energy inside of me that makes me travel and share with people.

I don't like so much to count and give big importance to the number of countries that I know. Thousands of experiences can be in some countries and you can see 30 countries in 1 month, so what´s important here? Traveling is inside crossing places and people, not really outside.

I think that every culture has something important to make us learn, if we cross the world just for fun we will get bored haha, but really we have to LEARN, so here I´m to go further my limits and know something that I don't know that is coming. We need LIFE TOOLS and more open souls to understand others' ways of living, that´s my travel main point.

While I'm traveling I work to have my money to continue (and don't to eat my host food hahah).
I sell my world documental pictures around the globe, I spent the last 7 years selling them as postcards.
I walk the city and talk with many people in bars and parks to live as an artist. My actually dream is not to count money anymore, my previously was to become a full-time artist :)

Knowing new places and the people that live there is wonderful to me, I like to live this way. I really don´t like the tourist way to know places and I always try my at4rnative way to travel.

The road makes me grow up every time that I´m on my path, so here I am!

To see some of my work and pictures you can see my ig count @elviajedemisfotos, thanks for reading!

***SPANISH***
Soy fotógrafo, escritor y viajero por pasión!
Comencé a viajar por el mundo en 2016.
Ahora actualmente estoy viajando itermitentemente. Vivo en Buenos Aires y viajo el resto del tiempo.
Trabajo vendiendo postales y libros!

Mis viajes me mostraron muchas cosas, tanto del mundo como de mí mismo, y felizmente quiero seguir viendo que tiene para darme! A la vez me pudren los turistas y ser un turista, sobre todo por eso estoy aquí en CS, quiero ver tu lugar desde la visión de un local y no donde Lonelly Planet recomienda.
Este mundo es más hospitalario de lo que dicen y no creo nada cuando hablan mal de algún lugar, la mayoría de los que hablan mal de otros lugares nunca estuvieron en ellos!!!!

Creo mucho en la gente humilde.

Mi ig es @elviajedemisfotos y ahí están mis fotos de mis viajes!!!!
Viva el arte y hasta la victoria siempre ✊✊✊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS for me is my ideal way to travel because I prefer to see the local way of live in the countries I visit. I don't do it soooo much because I have lots of friends around the world, so I write them first. But of course, I will treat you as a good friend!
I heard a lot of travelers telling me all their experiences whit cs, I went to peoples´ houses and I met amazing people! I want to discover new places like the local people, it's boring to me to be a conventional tourist.

Me interesa mucho tener amigos al rededor del mundo!
Estoy en Couchsurfing porque muchos viajeros de todos lados del mundo me dijeron que es muy divertido y se puede conocer gente muy buena por acá. Quiero conocer más gente local de los lugares a los que voy y poder conocer de manera especial, me aburre ser un turista convencional.

Interests

Help other humans consciously, travel, take pictures all around the world, and make new friends in other countries.
I walk walk and walk, I sell my pictures and I know by first touch the culture of every country in the world.
Be happy, and try to avoid anxiety.

Ayudar al otro de manera consciente, viajar, sacar fotos con sentido, hacer nuevos amigos al rededor del mundo, compartir. JUGAR.
Ser feliz.
Registrar al mundo con mi cámara, viajar y conocer a las culturas a través de los habitantes que la hacen y viven. El modo de vida local es por el que viajo, quiero hacerme amigos en todo el mundo y que dejen de existir las fronteras y límites.
NADIE ES ILEGAL!!!!!

Intento ver y aprende de todo el mundo, todos tienen algo para mostrar y enseñar!
