ABOUT ME

We're a couple with a 17 year old child, we're interested in many cultural expressions: music, literature, cinema, arts in general. We love to travel, but can't do it as frecuently as we'd like.

We've had some surfers at home (almost 30 by now), and has been great... And we surfed in Buenos Aires, Santiago, Paris, Florence and London, and it was even better!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Highlands in Scotland let Andrea without breath. And Diego made a very vivid trip around Italy that moved him a lot.

Las tierras altas escocesas dejaron a Andrea sin aliento. Y Diego hizo un recorrido a fondo por Italia que le cambió la vida.

Teach, Learn, Share

Diego knows A LOT of blues, and always is interested in transmit information about it, not only on the radio and in his blog, but any time.
Andrea teachs cinema, and likes to share all she knows about it with anyone who's interested.
We're always looking forward to know more about arts, culture, politics, anything interesting.

Diego sabe un resto de blues: tiene un programa en Javeriana Estéreo todos los sábados y domingos a las 5 p.m., y un blog: www.historiasdelblues.wordpress.com, y además le encanta hablar de esta música.
Andrea es escritora, enseña teoría del cine y semiótica visual en la universidad, tiene una buena videoteca y le encanta compartir la cultura cinematográfica con quien esté interesado.
Además, los dos estamos interesados en aprender siempre más acerca del arte, la cultura, la política y cualquier tema interesante.
