I am a passionate entrepreneur and content creator, shaped by unique life experiences and vibrant creativity.

I'm Mateo — born in New York City and raised around the world from a young age. I have lived and studied across Europe (Spain, Switzerland), Sub-Saharan Africa (Senegal, Mozambique, South Africa), Latin America (Peru), the Middle East (Egypt), and North Africa (Morocco).

This has allowed me to cultivate fluency in four languages (English, Spanish, Italian, and French) and develop a deep understanding of cross-cultural dynamics.

I hold a B.A. in Environmental Studies from Franklin University Switzerland, with a specialization in business management, photography, and videography — blending strategic thinking with artistic execution.

My past work experience includes traditional corporate roles, niche entrepreneurial ventures, and complex creative projects — bridging business operations, creative direction, and high-touch experience design, from content production to curating transformative travel for high-level clients.

Now my work lives at the intersection of travel, adventure, and the pursuit of adrenaline — freediving with sharks, skydiving, scuba diving, kitesurfing, spearfishing, motocross, horseback riding, and too many more to count. Through all of it, my goal is simple: to inspire you to expand your skillset, pick up new sports, and see corners of the world you never knew existed.

Whether behind a camera, leading a team, or planning immersive journeys, my focus remains the same: to create meaningful experiences that transform people.

Eye of Riva started as a
personal bucket list,
But grew into something bigger.

Scuba diving, skydiving, free diving, motocross, kite surfing — the kinds of experiences that don't just check a box, but rewire how you see the world. At some point I stopped chasing these things alone and started building a way for others to come along.

Eye of Riva is that vision made real. Every trip is built around the pursuits that ignite my sense of wonder — and an open invitation for you to stop watching from the sidelines and come live it with us.

This is my bucket list. You're welcome to make it yours.
