Dinner time at Simple

What does it feel like to work in high end restaurant that is known for being exquisite, yet relaxed?

Documenting the hearts of wine

During the time in which I lived the nomad lifestyle, my life long friend Mariana became a sommelier and later on a wine and gastronomy writer. In 2022, on a family trip to Argentina, we arranged for her to take me along on a work trip. She’d be the writer and I’d be the photographer. We spent 5 days in Mendoza visiting producers, chefs, sommeliers and all sorts of passionate people who devote their days to conversing with the Andes and bringing the fruits of the conversation back to the table.

Global Eclipse Gathering 2020 – Part 2

After that first unexpected trip and teaser production in April 2019, I had yet to experience more serendipity with the Global Eclipse Gathering Project. 3 more trips later, I would produce over 20 videos for them…

Faces2Hearts – Visiting EU funded projects across Argentina

Nelly and I – who had never met before being teamed up for this spectacular professional adventure – spent a month visiting EU funded projects in Argentina. Over 4000 km, 7 videos and a zillion Instagram Stories later, we felt as if we had run a creative production marathon: exhausted but fulfilled.

Global Eclipse Gathering 2020 – Docu Work

I was supposed to leave Argentina on March 30th. Instead, I ended up flying to Patagonia with an adorable motley crew. They came from many different countries to start planning and visualising a big global gathering to share the Solar Total Eclipse that will be seen from the South of Argentina in December 2020. Thankful for the unexpected exciting job and for, once again, being able to change my plans; I packed all my gear tight, borrowed warm clothes (I barely own any) and went on for a professional adventure full of challenges, interesting people and laughter. A project that would require my absolute best at all the skills I had been polishing during my 3 years of nomadism.

Rosetta Sessions Photos for Rosetta Stone

Rosetta Stone, the first and one of the biggest players in the digital language learning world contacted me asking for travel photos and captions that would portray moments and places to have #RosettaSessions all around the planet. The photos would be used on their social media sites along with this hashtag to encourage people to download their app and start learning and practicing one of the over 30 languages they offer.

Cancun CEO Search

I was living in Playa del Carmen, Mexico in November 2017 when an online acquaintance sent me a link through messenger. Turns out Cancun.com was launching a worldwide search for a dream job: they would pay 10,000 usd a month to a candidate who would travel around the...

Souls on Fire

It was a coincidence, but also a result of my persistent stubborn efforts to try and communicate with Kadek, who spoke almost no English, as he was giving me a ride into town on his scooter. We were driving past a small street just 500 meters from our inn, when I...

Videosongs: My route and my music, together

                    I am making videosongs as I travel. Recording the parts separatedly, like I have so many times done in a studio, but in beautiful settings I discover as I go. When recording the audio I also make a video: record the recording. Unlike Kinetokens,...

The Wi Fi Tribe

                    I was standing in the center of the lounge/dining room/bigcommonspace of Equilibrio Eco Lodge (with whom I was bartering in exchange of accommodation and food in Las Salinas, Nicaragua) holding my...

I have always loved to travel, and would do it as often as possible. Almost 4 years ago I decided to leave home and become a nomad. Since then I’ve had the opportunity to visit more than 20 countries and meet people from all around the world. I’ve encountered difference and awe which I try to portray on videos and images I create for the joy of it. On the road, I’ve acquired specific gear and skills that help me best capture travel, lifestyle and documentary stories.
