Steamer Lane, Santa Cruz, California - Aug 11



Santa Cruz is famous for its surfing scene and Steamer Lane is considered to be one of the best (and most dangerous) spots. Perfect waves start boarding the cliff and highly skilled surfers paint the green ocean with nice moves.

Saraswati temple, Pushkar, India, Dec 08


This is a temple on top of a mountain near the nice and small city of Pushkar, in India. Although the temple itself is quite simple, the views from it are amazing. Also it is a temple dedicated to Saraswati, the wife of Lord Brahma, and very venerated in the region. That explain why no matter the age, people endure the hill up to pay their respect at this beautiful location.

Tulum, Mexico, Dec 10


Even before I set foot on Mexico I liked the place; I have many great friends from Mexico and I couldn't wait to meet the country that they represented so well.

Tulum is in the Riviera Maya, a hidden jew (well not so hidden) close to Playa del Carmen. The beauty of the Maya ruins melt with the never ending blue of the Caribbean.

Rice fields, Burma, Mar 11


There is something about the green of those fields, or the peace that the whole scenario conveys that just chill me out. No matter how bad my day is going, it usually takes me a couple of minutes flipping through these photos and bringing me back to that place to lighten up the mood.

Fall in Chicago, US - Nov11


This is the first time of my life that I live in a place that has four defined seasons. Although the winter can be painful sometimes, there are certain joys, like seeing the great colors that only the fall can proportioned to you on my way to school at Hyde Park.
