Physiotherapy student

I began canoe at age twelve in the Aluminé river in Neuquén, Argentina.

I started paddling in a little town with 80's-broken slalom boats with the owner of a rafting enterprise that becomes my first teacher. Then i paddle with friends just for fun, until french knowledge arrived to Argentina and slalom sport in my country began to grow up quickly, I'm talking around the year two thousand and eight.  I started training and finally i could not leave the water more than three days that i got sick, and fortunately is still like this. i think that means i love it!
