“I was exposed to many different cultures and lifestyles around the world, and my
passion for travel has grown each time I crossed a country from my bucket list. I believe
that relationships, traveling and architecture are the ultimate growth recipes and a daily
intake is necessary in order to maintain a rich and fulfilled life.
Founding AtelierAbroad brings me and my partner an opportunity to maintain the
ultimate resource of knowledge, which comes with independence, whilst creating our
own architectural story. It’s brings evolving by doing.”
