I'm from Argentina and I absolutely love TTRPGs, cooking, music, visual arts, and reading. These interests fuel my creativity and bring unique elements to the games I run. I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to play together and have an amazing time. I'm confident that we can create captivating stories and embark on thrilling adventures. I look forward to getting to know you and enjoying a great gaming session together!
