I am a traveler above all things.
I have done many different things in my life, but the one thing I never stopped doing is traveling and looking for the music of places.

On and off, I have also been a literature teacher, a writer, a translator, and a filmmaker. In fact, you can see my upcoming film´s trailer here:
