Why Spain?
In February 2020, I moved alone from Argentina to Spain for restart a new life. First I came to Barcelona to study interior designer because being an architect for 23 years and building houses is something that has always fascinated me.
And where are you now?
I am living in Frigiliana, one of the most beautiful white towns in the Costa del Sol.
After I finished my first year in Barcelona with a Masters in interior design during Pandemic time, I needed peace, nature and charming people around me.
What was the biggest challenge for your move?
I left my grown up kids and my parents in Argentina. All the time they support me to following my dreams.
