About Me

I was born and grew up in my beloved Uruguay, a beautiful place in the world.

I studied everything looking for my way. I started with Economy, then with Foreign Trade, but after a while, I realized that it wasn't that and I left it. Soon I started with Communication and I felt more comfortable, but I felt that I was still missing something. That something I found in Fine Arts, but not in academics. The school and its people helped me to find myself; helping me to understand that a university career or a distinguished position in a well-paid job didn't define me and never would.

That's why I began to travel, to know new places, cultures, people, living each day new experiences that make me feel more "I" and less what others expect from me.

Travelling makes us free.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I don't have a favourite band or musical genre, I think everyone and none are my favourites because music flows with moods. Today I feel indie and "Él mató a un policía motorizado", a very good band.

Movies: Uh, many. The Lion King, Forrest Gump, Matrix, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Secret, La Science des rêves, The Butterfly Effect, Modern Times, Captain Fantastic, Braveheart, Gladiator, The Pursuit of Happiness, (500) Days of Summer...

Books: "Final del Juego" ("End of the Game"), by Julio Cortázar, 1956.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All. Everything I have done since I decided to live fully has been incredible. Life is full of unique and unrepeatable experiences, one as incredible as the other.
