📍 I’m currently living on the north coast of the Dominican Republic and working six days a week at a surf school in Encuentro. I previously lived in the Basque Country in 2024 and in the Alps from 2020 to 2023. Before that, I traveled and worked as a journalist in Mexico, Haiti, Cuba, Benin, Iceland, and Switzerland.

Between late August and early November 2025, I travelled 11,000 km on my motorcycle, riding from the French Alps all the way down the coasts of Spain, Portugal, and Morocco in search of the most beautiful surf spots.

Curious and open-minded person, feel free to send me a message in English, Spanish or French.
