Overview
About Me
I've been travelling since I'm 23 years old in different ways and changing my perspective arround it. The first period was about perceiving and learning. In that process I was a carpenter, worked in farms, as a scuba diving assistant, bartender, barista, on constructions in different parts of USA and Mexico and volunteered as a luthier apprentice for son jarochan instruments.
The second part was maybe questioning and experience different things. On that way I volunteered in refugees around mexico and Guatemala, worked in a junkyard, in a coconut farm, as street performer and travelled hitch hiking arround the hole west coast of mexico until Guatemala.
After that I settled in Nayarit for a few years and now crossed the big pond to explore Europe for the first time.
In this third part of the journey I'm sharing what I learned in an abstract way, through music. I currently live in mexico as a musician and I'm travelling with my saxophone with the idea of playing as much as I can and jam with people from all arround the globe. I go to jazz jams of every city I visit and If I have the chance to collaborate with local artist I'm happy to do it.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love reading latin American authors, I feel that their literature is deep, beautiful and eloquent. Lately I've been reading Octavio paz, the way he writes sound in your years wile you read it. Galeano is a writer I admire a lot, I feel he has a raw but still beautiful perspective about life, like a grandfather who has been through a lot and have lots of grandchildren. So he can show you the beauty or the cruelty. And cortázar and Borges are my favourite writers ever 🙌
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have tons of crazy experiences wile travelling, all of them priceless. One of the latest, while sailing on a fishing boat I jumped in the water to pee and a humpback whale and her baby passed by me.
