Welcome to our Instagramers blog Emilio, the stage is now yours…
My name is Emilio Chuliá and I am from Valencia (Spain) in the analog world. Early in my life I started as a tennis player but I was also a big guitar fan who finally ended up studying Architecture at the Polytechnic University of Valencia. And somewhere the middle of all these passions and activities, I found Instagram and through this wonderful application, mobile photography . It’s been more than two years now and I can truly say that that single moment has changed the way I perceive things that are around me, it has change the way I relate to my environment.
My nick is my biggest mistake on Instagram. I never thought this new found interest would take me this far and when I realized I was going places… it was too late to change. I would have chosen a cooler Nickname like “Papillon”, “eyeofthetiger” or something like this…. You can also find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/emiliochulia.realitybites
