About Me

I was born and raised at Mexico City, one of the most big, chaotic, crowded and impressive places in the world. Even though I love my hometown, I was really craving for a break of the 22 million souls that live there, and that's how my adventure in Europe begun.

I quit my job, left everything behind and started travelling. Even though I miss working as a designer from time to time, I love doing unusual things while I'm away from home. The one thing that nobody tells you about being a designer is that you get to sit behind a computer the hole time, and I missed so much being outdoors, getting to move arround, breathe clean air and feel the sunshine.

I consider myself a visual, creative, resourcefull person. Sometimes I seem to be living in my own world but thats just the way I am. I always find myself thinking about the weirdest things, like finding faces in stones or shapes in the ground. Nevertheless I feel like Im also a very friendly and easy going person. I dont feel any kind of hate towards anyone (except Trump) and can talk about anything at anytime. My mantra is to mind my own business, do no harm but take no shit.

The thing I love the most about travelling is to know people from all arround the world, learn from cultural differences and live outside the box that we're teached to love. When you travel you realize there's no "normal" neither "beautiful", and you get to decide who you want to be.
