CURRENT MISSION

Live my dreams, enjoy freedom, people and nature.

ABOUT ME

After two and a half years working at international advertising agencies as creative copywriter (Buenos Aires, Argentina), I somehow agreed with myself that spending my life in no-window boxes sucks big time. I quit my job and bought a ticket to New Zealand, where a year adventure would kick off.

Call me stubborn, but eight years later I still think that spending my life in no-window boxes sucks. So I keep traveling. I´ve travelled Asia, America, South America, Europe, Oceania and Africa. By plane, car, bus, truck, camel, bike, motorbike, canoe, hitchhiking and walking. I have laughed and I have cried. I have jumped, swam, got lost, missed planes, hugged, enjoyed, sailed storms, missed people, smelled, learnt. I have gone back to Argentina without telling anybody, jumped into a Scooby Doo costume and followed my close friends around the city touching their butts. I was immune. "You cannot punch a Scooby Doo, you never know who is inside", they said later.

I have basically felt in love; with people, with nature, with animals, with traveling. With life.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life as if it was only one.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Been part of a humanitarian project in South Sudanese war.

- After 15 months travelling around the world, I went back to Buenos Aires but told none of my best friends about that. So I got into a Scooby Doo custom and follow them around the city during one day, touching their asses, hugging them, etc. Two of their coussins helped me with this crazy thing! I will never forget their faces when at the end of the day they finally thought about taking Scooby´s head out!

- I reached the "Top 25 finalists" stage (out of 600.000 entries) in "The Best Job in the World 2013" competition with a video I shot (especially for the contest) while travelling the Nepali Himalaya.

- Discovered my critical condition of "Adventurer Fever" and shot this short movie about it: http://viajoscopio.com/2013/11/29/adventurer-fever-mi-video-gano-el-concurso-de-travel-filmmakers-de-worldnomads-com-me-voy-a-filmar-a-new-orleans/

- Won the "World Nomads Travel Film Scholarship 2013" with my "Adventurer Fever" video.

- Travelled 5 continents since December 2010 and keep going.
