About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Estoy por comenzar a estudiar medicina, así es que se viene un largo camino.
I'm about to start medical school, so there's a long way ahead.

ABOUT ME

Soy veterinario de profesión, músico y fotógrafo de pasión. Tengo un hijo de 15 años, un rockstar él!

Buena comida, música, naturaleza, cine/Netflix, PIZZA/QUESO, tengo más afinidad por la lluvia, bosques, montañas, una tormenta en la casa con una bosca, uf! Disfruto estando sólo en casa, o saliendo a algún trekking a la montaña, sólo o acompañado. He conocido varios lugares increíbles, pero la Patagonia sigue siendo insuperable.

Soy bueno para conversar, cállenme si pueden jaja, me gusta cocinar, cuando el tiempo lo permite.

PHILOSOPHY

Me gustan los cambios, soy algo inquieto en ese sentido, suelo aburrirme rápido de algunas cosas, otras me gusta mantenerlas tal cual.

CURRENT MISSION

Vet by profession, musician/Photographer by passion. I've a 15 yo son, and he's a complete rockstar :P

ABOUT ME

I love good food, nature, Movies/Netflix, PIZZA/CHEESE, I lean more towards rain, forests, mountain, and a good old storm at home with a fireplace! I enjoy being alone at home, or going on a trek to the mountains, by myself or with friends.

I enjoy a good conversation, and I'm pretty talkative, so go ahead and try to shut me up! :P I love cooking, when I have the time.

PHILOSOPHY

I like change, so I tend to get easily bored with some things, though I also like keeping some things as they are.

Music, Movies, and Books

I grew up listening to Metal and Classical music, but I realized I was missing out on SO MANY experiences, that I tought myself to open up and enjoy every kind of music, from Jack Johnson to Meshuggah, from Yanni to Ulver, from John Cage to Bach, anything that gives you the goosebumps, Music as an experience, is my everyday meal.

Books, the last one I read was The Harry Quebert Affair, which was really really good, I devoured it in just a few days, I couldn't stop reading it, I'd have to say "Journey to Ixtlan" from Carlos Castaneda is a MUST. But I enjoy anything that takes you to weird places and shakes your conception of the world every once in a while!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Grabbing a train from Melbourne to Moree, NSW, Australia, which ended up being in the middle of NOWHERE!! I did this in order to get a job, having no means to contact the employer by 'Gumtree', not knowing if I was gonna be able to meet this person when I got there, and with over 50 kilos in luggage, I challenge you to move around OZ with that! Got to a ghost town, where there were no hostels, only motels at AUS$70.0/night, cockroaches crawling everywhere, possums wandering inside the room, bad phone/internet service and a receptionist that pretty much looked like a serial killer from a Tarantino movie, with a very, VERY bad temper. I ended up going back to Sydney the next morning, 'cause I never got a message from the employer (who asked me to come to that freaking ghost town without giving me a phone or email address to contact him... Anyway, I was absolutely out of my comfort zone, but hey, I got to ride the train 'till the end of that NSW railway line, over 9 hours, crossed tons of little towns, enjoyed lots of different landscapes from a not very popular part of Australia, so in the end? A very expensive yet beautiful Train trip :)
