I enjoy taking pictures any time I can. I have always loved animals so I mainly try to photograph them. For the past few years, I have taken this hobby a little more seriously.
Here I present some of my favourite wildlife photos. If you want to see more, here is my Instagram.

Life in Japan
I spent four months in Okinawa in 2024 for a research visit, and honestly, I loved it. Japan is so intentional with everything, and Okinawa was really calm and easy to live in.
I enjoyed the mix of culture, the ocean air, and just the general rhythm of life there.

Life in Canada
For my postdoc I was in Canada. I loved the combination of incredible nature and cultural diversity. The focus on things like healthcare and social well-being made life feel very stable. And honestly, being closer to my family in Mexico made everything easier.

Life in Finland
After finishing my master’s, I moved to Finland in August 2018 to start my Ph.D.
And honestly, Finland really is the happiest country in the world, my time there was incredible. Every day felt calm, peaceful, and just… good.
I loved how the cities and nature blended so perfectly. It was a truly amazing place to live.

Life in Germany
Starting my master’s meant moving to Bonn, which was an exciting new step for me.
What I love most about Bonn is that it’s Beethoven’s hometown. The city really embraces that, there are so many places and events dedicated to him, and it adds a really unique charm.
