I was awarded best graduate student, class of 2009.
That same year I begun my pilot training, a dream I had been planning around for a while.
Years later, while flying the Boeing 767 I discovered photography as a passionate hobby that quickly became much more. On 2017 I published my first Hard cover photographic book with teNeues in Germany.
The journey continues flying around the world, exploring new places. Fly with me on my instagram @santiagoborja
