'Find your passion and let it kill you' That's what my grandfather taught me since I was a kid. Coming from a man who left everything (even his country) to chase his passion for coaching cycling seemed to be a trustworthy lesson. Well, I found that passion in a little box.
Over the years, I’ve learned that my biggest strengths are not my job skills but my endless pursuit of working on things I love. In the past, whenever I’ve felt that my job was not taking me through the path I feel passionate about, I’ve learned a new skill, moved place and started a new journey and a new career where I could feel complete, always learning, always growing. That’s how I went from working in a dying factory as an engineer to being a marketing manager at a bicycle brand (Yes, Bikes are one of my two big passions) and now as a storyteller, using my camera to inspire people to follow their passion and simply live life to its fullest.
From a personal point of view, I’m a passionate person (I’m Latin, of course) who tries to enjoy life as much as possible. My perfect weekend is going camping with my dog and my partner or bikepacking with my mates; I love the outdoors. I’m an easy-going person who likes being surrounded by people, and that easily adapts to changes. If I was alright, moving half-world away to start from the beginning, I know I will be fine with any changes that lay ahead.
