About Me

I'm 34 years old, and have been an engineer for 15 years. In 2015 decided to quit the corporate world into a journey around the world, where i've been developing new habilities on filmmaking and photography. Mind-body balance addicted, I'm very sensitive to social issues and keep questioning standards looking for a better world.
