CURRENT MISSION

Doing fieldwork in Tierra del Fuego, studying comunidades indígenas.

ABOUT ME

I appreciate unforseen encounters and experiences with other people, whether I know them or not, and I am ever curious about humans, cultures and subjects I basically don't know a lot about, which often drives me into strange situations - most of them good, fortunately.

I value other peoples kindness and stories a lot and have many good friends who share these views. I will gladly introduce you to them, if you like, as well as the places around my city that I treasure, as I would be interested in meeting/seeing yours if you find it appropriate.

PHILOSOPHY

Be consequent in your act; everything must pass.
