Overview
About Me
Hi there!
A little bit about myself: I usually spend my days surrounded by books (literature mainly), films, drumming, rowing and of course, travelling.
Love sharing new experiences and creating memories with people from all over the world. I like to explore and try new things. I also love coffee (a little too much!)
After traveling for two years (Australia, Europe and a short visit to China) while working as a travel photographer, I now came back home and kind of living a double life: lawyer in the mornings, photographer and cinema student during the afternoons. Still trying to find the perfect balance 😄.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
- Traveled to Antarctica as a camarographer to shoot a short documentary and the first live stream in history done from there.
- Working as a photographer on whale watching boats while being trained as part of a dolphin care team.
- Living in a car's roof-tent for couple of months while traveling +5000kms.
- Free diving (everyday) at the Great Barrier Reef for six months (during lunch breaks).
- Ended drinking spirits by accident at a bar in Beijing to find out that the locals where all dancing Tango (music genre originated in my home country, Argentina).
