Becoming an American is a visual autobiography, covering one of the most transformative periods of my life. After 30 years of comfortable and predictable life in Spain, I quit my job, sold everything I owned, and got on a plane to cross the ocean.

I was to travel thousands of miles in the next few years, but the true journey was happening within. By embracing the unknown, experiencing new places, making new friends, I realized I was able to build a whole new self, from scratch.

These images are the experiences I went through to build a new me. Most of them were neither comfortable nor predictable, but that's what kept me constantly in awe and feeling alive.

I felt free for the first time in my life. I had become an American.

This book was never in my mind when I was capturing those raw moments. Most of the images were never meant for publication, but that's what makes "Becoming an American" so personal for me.
