Damien and I lived in the established daily life of a large city: Mexico City. We were two young adults complying with the canons of Mexican society: we bought our apartment in the heart of Tlatelolco; Damián is an architect and worked in an office in Lomas de Chapultepec. I was a dancer in the Amalia Hernández Folkloric Ballet; then I went into the Polanco offices of Penguin Random House; we would do an hour of traffic to go anywhere; We would go out to dinner at La Condesa, Roma, Coyoacán ... we lived well in one of the largest cities in the world.

Then, without knowing from where, a seed germinated in our lives and we began to wish (more and more earnestly), to live in a town, in nature, to harvest our food, to walk anywhere ... And we did. We left everything, packed the essentials in a red car and went to Tapalpa, Jalisco.

Here we learned to sow, we recovered family traditions to make cheese and bread (I was born in Tapalpa and my whole family is from here), we learned to milk and keep farm animals, we learned to breathe fresh air, to listen to silence ...

This is how Senderos came about: as a way to teach those same experiences to others.
