About myself …

I was born in Talcahuano Chile, lived my childhood there and at age 11 we moved with my family to Australia.
This was at the time of Pinochet and both my mother and stepfather were politically active against the dictatorship.
A sense of right and wrong, justice and injustice was instilled in me by my parents, something that I’m glad and happy to have to this day.

I did High school in South Australia and lived there until I was 19. Having experienced two different cultures and having needed to adapt to a different way of life, I became curious about the world and how people live in different places.

By age 19 I travelled through Peru and Bolivia and my beautiful Chile. This sparked a curiosity about indigenous cultures.

I spent a good time travelling with very little money and learning as much as I could from the people I met.
This gave me a sense of belonging not to a country but to the world, and taught me to respect and admire nature for its beauty and power. It also made me realize how disconnected we are to nature as human beings.

I studied Cultural Studies at Roskilde University (Denmark) and Communications in Screen Productions at Griffith University, Australia. I have been living in the Netherlands with my family now since 2002, working as a freelancer in video and photography.
