I have been a resident of San Telmo for more than 10 years. I have a passion for knowing and telling the stories that appear around every corner. I am a guide by vocation, social worker, stand-up comedian, traveler, guitar player and grandfather. I love communicating with substance, empathy and good humor, entertaining, meeting people from all over and, of course, walking.
