Dogs. I started rescuing stray dogs when I came 5 years ago, I helped around 10 find a new loving home, and kept two that are now my best companions. I volunteer a lot in the local shelters and photograph their dogs to help them get adopted faster.

Diving. Diving is a huge passion that came from my mother, who is a dive master, and that I pursue here on the beautiful reefs of Mexico. My favorite encounter ever was with a pod of belugas between Cozumel and Playa, it was such a magical unforgettable moment! I shoot underwater trash the dress in cenotes, and volunteer in the coral farms that help renew the coral populations in Playa Del Carmen as well.

Music. Music has been a passion since I was little, my parents played piano and so did I. At the age of 12 I got my fist sax from my uncle, and this year I decided to learn how to sing as well. Music always lifts up my spirits.

Recommended places:

Depending on the city, I particularly enjoy Playacar in Playa, Isla Blanca or Punta Cancun in Cancun, Punta Sur in Cozumel, Playa Norte in Isla Mujeres, XpuHa in Tulum.
