"Travel is discovering new places, cultures and people."
Photography is where I find the serenity, tranquility and space for reflection, it serves as a round-trip ticket, each image has the ability to put feelings captured in the world of experiences and immortalize. I collect memories of this world, emotions I felt at that moment.
My photography goal is to show the beauty, uniqueness and wonder of this planet. Also raise a awareness on the delicate balance of nature and the need to preserve for future generations this incredible planet.
