I travelled South America from Argenitna to Colombia RETURN! it took me 10 months... no planes.. heaps of hitchhiking, some buses... I spent one year in South Africa working back at the same NGO! I live 2 months in Tanzania also learning some swahilii! I spent the last to years in Australia and New Zealand with work and holidays visas.. doing LITERALLY EVERYTHING! I was a chef, a regional manager of a company which sales pillows, I also was rubissh collector for a week! Then for 6 months I traveled SE asia: Bali, Singapore, Philippines, Malasia, Myanmar, and Thailand

Teach, Learn, Share

I was a teacher at university about microfinance and I gave trainning to many companies in this area as well.

I had my own photo school in a small cultural centre in my town... So I could reach some.basic photographer skills..

I was also sponsored by many cultural centers, councils and schools to show my pictures and talk to the students about my travels: we learn about geography, history, multiculturalism, etc

Now I work in a book publisher
