about:
I used to produce tv shows for US networks like MTV, Travel Channel, Oxygen, Sundance Channel. Then I moved to Barcelona, helped start faircompanies and started making online videos (my youtube channel). Two decades ago, I studied economics at Harvard. Now, I like tiny homes, Spanish food culture & parenting traditions, American DIY & entrepreneurship, my mother-in-law's backyard garden (the source of our organic veggies), my mother's frugality and my father's craftsmanship.
