About Me

I was born in Argentina, my mum is Canadian and I moved to Sydney in 2015 when I was 19 years old. Travel is a BIG part of my life and family. I love taking film photos and documenting my life in that way. I have a surprising amount of energy, and manage to fit a lot of things in a tight schedule. If you're hosting a dinner party, going to see some live music, going for a morning swim, heading to an art exhibition, camping for the weekend or going for a trail run, count me in!
