About Me

Hello friends of CS surfing, I'm new to this community, but without knowing I have always practiced the spirit to open my house and others have helped me while traveling by Brazil and Peru.

I am 30 years old and I am passionate about life, curious by nature and constant learner. I love meeting new places and countries where I always feel at home, thanks to friends that puts us the way.

I am very active and enthusiastic, where art, music and books always keep me alive and connected to different people in the world to learn from them.

Journey through different countries of Latin America as; Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Bolivia and Uruguay.

Now I'm going to meet Asia and settle in any country to work and develop several documentaries and audiovisual projects. The first call "Poetic Heritage" project seeks to register different poets of Asia.

I want to create a Ong with friends from Asia, to improve the world. If you want to know more, just write me to my mail: eliasgm@gmail.com
