Get to know me

When I was 18, I moved from Bariloche to Buenos Aires for work. My parents always insisted that I get to know my home country as it has some of the most beautiful scenery – so I did! I've been lucky enough to visit great places like Jujuy, Salta Mendoza and Argentinean Patagonia. 

I recently moved to Europe, where I plan to continue my travels. But, wherever I am in the world, I feel most at home surrounded by snow and, of course, with a good cup of maté tea in hand.

Enjoying a maté in Antarctica

My top 5 Antarctic experiences

  1. Stopping our zodiac engine and simply pausing in the middle of the water to admire the surrounding glaciers
  2. Witnessing a whale appear just underneath us on our first zodiac cruise near Half Moon Island
  3. Watching a gentoo penguin colony with glee as they made their little nests and paths 
  4. Tracking orcas for an hour during a mesmerising sunset 
  5. Listening to the skin-tingling sounds of Antarctica, especially the unique cracking of the ice
