About me

I moved to Tokyo because of my love for Japanese Culture...I am a European who has lived in here for 20 years. I am “your Local” in this very exciting great city. Happy to make your vacation the most interesting and creative one, since I am also a promoter of the “Intercultural” lifestyle.

For starters, I live for food, travel and experience. By profession I am a photographer. I normally work for organisations like Unicef & UNDP and other local organisations around Asia and East Africa. I also write and stories for multiple English language publications in Japan in the pipeline. I love to learn new languages, so I am practicing my Japanese everyday. I like to meet people from different backgrounds and I am happy to show people around this amazingly mysterious city. I am very excited to be living here and I explore something new everyday, so I will be showing around with equal excitement.

I am a Latin American man living in Tokyo, a happy yogi and proud father. Lover of adventures, new places, technology, history, art, food, music and spiritual life. Tokyo has everything! I love going to new places, learn their stories, secrets, and mysteries and then sharing those treasures. I also love to cook. I believe cooking is a blessing from God. Let's have a fun trip together and see the city from a different view.
