Architect and Urbanist
ABOUT ME
I was born on November 1, 1996, on a Friday, in Bogotá, Colombia, an awesome, massive, and crazy city.
When I was younger, architecture, particularly urban planning, became my passion because
I believe that our cities shape our brains and, in some ways, define our personalities and lives.
As a result, being able to participate in, see, and comprehend this process of city planning
is a memorable opportunity for me. However, I share a strong desire to travel and enjoy different cultures.
I have lived in Bogotá and Cartagena, Colombia, in Madrid and Bilbao in Spain, Sienna in Italy, The Hague, and
Rotterdam in The Netherlands, and Oslo in Norway. My conclusion is that I want to keep
not just traveling but living and experiencing the different cities of the world.
​
I enjoy new challenges and pushing myself beyond my comfort zone because I believe that every event
is an opportunity to learn something new. I've worked in a variety of occupations throughout my life and have
studied three languages, which will shortly increase to four or more.
