Description

"Hello, I'm Martín Nievas, a press photographer and documentary photographer. Currently, I'm on an exciting adventure along the east coast of Australia, exploring its landscapes on my motorcycle in search of wise individuals with intriguing life stories connected to nature, music, art, philosophy, and spirituality. I firmly believe that the world is full of wise people, and my mission is to capture their knowledge and share it with the world.

This inspiration arose after a long career as a photojournalist for various national media and agencies in Argentina. Throughout my experience, I realized that the intentions of the media rarely aligned with my ideals. Therefore, I decided to embark on my own path, an alternative medium that leaves behind negativity and alarmism and focuses on spreading optimism, awareness, debate, and wisdom.

My pursuit of this inspiration was also nourished during a period of reflection, while alternating between the hustle and bustle of Argentina and the serenity of Australia, where economic contrasts taught me valuable lessons.

Today, I undertake this journey that I've been eagerly awaiting for a long time, with a lot of effort and the intention to take it around the world.

Regarding my skills to assist in your home, I can perform repairs, as I have experience as a mechanic, although I grew tired of battling against the system. Additionally, I have some experience with horses and can cook on the grill and with firewood. I can also share fascinating stories from the southwestern region of Argentina, and, of course, capture unforgettable moments with my camera!"

More details about my language interests
One of the reasons I'm eager to embark on this journey is to practice and improve my English skills. While I may not be a professional teacher, I'm more than willing to share my native language and engage in a cultural exchange. So, if you're interested in learning some Spanish or simply immersing yourself in a different culture, I'll do my best to make it a fun and enriching experience for both of us. Let's embrace the opportunity to learn from each other and create memorable moments along the way!

More details about your skills

Hey there! I'm a handyman hailing from Argentina, and I've got some serious skills up my sleeve. With about 10 years of experience as an LV mechanic, I can fix just about anything on wheels. From tackling tricky engine problems to giving vehicles some TLC, I've got the know-how to keep things running smoothly.

But that's not all! I've also spent 5 years as a pro photojournalist, capturing epic stories through my lens. I've got an eye for detail and a knack for storytelling, so you can bet that my photos pack a punch.

When it comes to physical stuff, I've got you covered. I'm fit as a fiddle and can handle all sorts of tasks. Sailing? No problem! I've got the skills to navigate the waters. Need something fixed? I'm your go-to guy. I love solving problems and coming up with creative solutions.

Oh, and did I mention that I'm a pro at driving manual 4WD vehicles? Whether we're cruising through rugged terrains or tackling challenging off-road adventures, I'll handle it like a champ. Plus, I'm a pretty decent swimmer, so water activities are right up my alley.

One thing you should know about me is that I've got a bit of a restless spirit. I like to keep busy and always have something on the go. But hey, I know the importance of taking it easy and going with the flow too. Life's all about finding that sweet balance, right?

With my bag of tricks and a can-do attitude, I'm ready to jump in and lend a hand wherever I'm needed. So, let's team up and make some magic happen!

What else ...

Oh, and there's more to me than meets the eye! When I'm not out and about exploring, I'm a total board game geek. TEG and Monopoly are my jam - I love getting competitive and strategizing my way to victory.

But that's not all! I'm also a die-hard music lover. Live gigs are my ultimate high. There's just something about the energy and vibes of a live performance that gets my heart racing.

Sports-wise, I'm a total racket sports fanatic. Tennis and table tennis are my go-to games for a fun and active time. And when it's time to chill with friends, you can find me by the pool table, trying to sink those tricky shots.

But hey, I'm not all about games and sports. I also crave a dose of adventure and nature. Hiking is my escape, my way of disconnecting from the hustle and bustle. Exploring new trails and soaking in the beauty of the great outdoors is like therapy for my soul.

So, if you're up for a board game battle, rocking out at a live gig, smashing some balls on the court, or going on an epic hike, count me in! Let's have a blast and make some epic memories together!
