Saludos a todos!

Soy de la isla 🏝 del encanto de Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. Dejé mi trabajo de ingeniero 🚀 para dedicarme a seguir mi pasión de viajar, fotografía y crear contenido alrededor del mundo 🗺.

Me encanta conocer locales para llevarme lo más esencial de su país y su cultura.

Soy una persona muy llevadera 😁 , no juzgo por nada, amo la naturaleza y también me sobra energía para un poco de fiesta y compartir ( todo con un buen balance 🕺en la vida). Puedo decir que me gusta hacer de todo y soy MUUY feliz 😀.
