About Me

I’m from Montevideo, Uruguay, and I’ve been travelling for a year and a half. This unplanned journey started in Mexico, followed in Japan, ➡️ Trans-Siberian to the Black Sea coast, Georgia, Turkey, Cyprus, Greece and Albania 🇦🇱
At the moment I am doing a volunteer experience near the city of Elbasan, in rural Albania ⛰
A few weeks ago I published a second book: "The Strongest: love and pain are sacred", set of fictions built around the theme of gender violence. 👇

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a previous trip to Japan I stayed for a year and a half in a Zen temple, in the small town of Obama, by the coast of the Sea of ​​Japan, along with Harada Tangen Roshi, a period I remember as one of the best in my life.

En un viaje anterior a Japón residí durante año y medio en un templo zen ⛩ en la pequeña ciudad de Obama, sobre la costa del Mar del Japón, junto al maestro Harada Tangen Roshi, período que recuerdo como uno de los mejores de mi vida.
