I was born in downtown Santiago, a city with 7 million people. at an early age, I went to seek nature. every summer. I homesteaded at my grandparent’s place and got my hands into the tools. my inspiration was seeing people with very basic tools and knowledge connecting with the raw material, animals and nature, all being one thing.

I studied eco-tourism because I believed that was the way to give value to the forest. there is a piece of the story where I went to study veterinary in Argentina. after 10-15 years of guiding, kayaking, horseback-riding, mountain biking, adventures, I made a shift to work with my hands.

I moved from the flats in Penticton to the steeps in nelson. now I’m homesteading at the top of the site and looking to become an electrician. after building my solar power system, I think that electricity and power can be very mindful and renewable.
