About Me

I'm a travel filmmaker and storyteller who has spent the last eight years turning the map into a storyboard. From the monsoon-soaked streets of Mumbai to the wind-carved valleys of Patagonia, I chase the moments between destinations — the conversations, the detours, the unexpected kindness of strangers.

My work lives at the intersection of documentary and adventure, blending cinematic visuals with honest, grounded narratives. I've collaborated with tourism boards, outdoor brands, and independent hotels across four continents, always with the same brief: show the place as it really is, and make people feel something.

When I'm not on the road, I'm based in Lisbon, editing footage from a sunlit apartment and planning the next departure.

I don't do luxury travel. I do real travel — the kind where you get lost, eat street food, sleep on overnight trains, and meet people who change how you see the world. My camera is my passport. I've filmed sunrises from mountain tents in Nepal, ridden overnight trains across India, and gotten beautifully stuck in more places than I can count. What makes me different? I don't just visit — I stay long enough to understand.
