In March of last year, Uruguayan Matías Nóbrega presented the first chapter of his well-curated series of videos that follow him living the dream of surfing the perfect waves of Australia, working to earn a fair living and dividing his time between ocean and ocean.

He said he sold 3500 empanadas to get to Australia.

Once he arrived, as he says in this chapter, his savings didn't last long and he had to learn to work in something other than making empanadas or giving surfing lessons. He did a lot of things until he bought a car in which he lived for three months.

In the east of the country of kangaroos he did not find what he wanted and continued searching.

He found everything he wanted in the West: a land full of waves, soul surfers, and tubes. And for now, no one can move him from there.
