About Me

Founder and one of the Directors of Eternautas, a travel agency of cultural tours based in Buenos Aires. In the 1980s rock music started to broaden his mind. In the 1990s it was University that did so (History at the Universidad de Buenos Aires). Cinema and the Internet did the rest. A reader, a travel writer, an enthusiast of photography and a passionate admirer of urban life. I've had reviewed books for newspaper , and some of his snapshots illustrate the editions of both the guide and some magazines of Time Out Buenos Aires. I wrote Buenos Aires tiene Historia (2008), Marriott Plaza Hotel: los primeros cien años (2009) and Buenos Aires de Fiesta (2010). Occasionally I've mounted heritage crusades, such as the one which restored the original name to the Teatro Ópera of Buenos Aires.
