THE REEL
THE story
I think one of the hardest things in life is writing your story.
I imagine that maybe it is because as our life advances, we evolve with it and in some way, our history also lives this precious process of constant creation.
Today I write this text from Costa Rica, where I am developing a beautiful marine restoration project, planting corals with a local community. Yeah, its sounds unbelievable even to me.
How did I get here?
About 2 years ago, it occurred to me to create a startup , specifically a water brand (aguanea.com) with which I decided not only to propose an alternative to single-use plastic bottles , but also to create a positive impact in our Ocean, and bring as many people as possible the possibility to participate in coral restoration.
The idea came to me after working for a few years at the NGO Oceanic Global , where I worked as a project manager and got an unforgettable training in sustainability matters. In just a few years, Oceanic went from organizing beach clean-ups in Ibiza to organizing World Oceans Day at the United Nations in New York.
I admit that I am fortunate to have crossed paths with them in my life. I imagine it was not by chance and we connected since we share the passion and mission in life.
The passion, without a doubt is our love for the ocean.
The mission: to raise awareness, educate and inspire individuals and organizations to care for our planet, to live more consciously and sustainably.
Before that, I had another life. A very different one.
I worked organizing events, music festivals, parties, and shows. I admit that my twenties was not boring at all. I was lucky enough to work for the greatest of the industry, from the Cirque du Soleil, Red Bull to Space Ibiza. I had a good career as a production manager and project manager.
I was a freelance in agencies, production companies, and I worked on various projects that took me from Ibiza to Miami, New York, Mexico, Dubai, ... and even Hong Kong ... I was accompanied by some of the best artists and performers in the world.
The hospitality and entertainment industry is a great teacher. It showed me the impact capacity that a few people can have on a large crowd . How, through content, art or music, you can connect and inspire the souls of millions of people.
The shift from music festivals to sustainability was not easy.
I went through a beautiful process of personal transformation , which led me to make a very deep inner journey, inside the Amazon rainforest. An adventure that would not only change my life, but would help me discover the magic of connecting with nature, the importance of preserving biodiversity, and the potential each of us has to create a positive impact on our environment.
That is why I started creating conferences. To inspire companies and individuals to create a positive impact around them. So that they too can inspire their environment, and together we can be the seed to a more sustainable and conscious world.
Today, as I write this text, I am finishing my first book "100 questions to save the world" and preparing to live the next adventure that life throws me.
I imagine that by the time you read these words, I will have a new story to tell you.
