Travel information

I am currently

Description

I studied Mechanical Engineering in Peru, where I come from. I lived in Argentina for 13 years, where I studied professional photography and sommelierie.
I travelled around Europe and Africa for 3 years (2016-2018) and then went back to Argentina to work again in the power generation business but I found out that travelling is my goal in life... learning about different people, cultures, countryside and gastronomy. Back to Europe since January 2020.
Workaway is nice way to do that and to share my skills.
