But Nahuel is happy, and there is no doubt about it: he appreciates his personal and professional present. “It’s a new adventure. I wanted it for a long time. Everything happens at the right time and with the right person. It happened to me when I was 33,” says the young man known as The Welcome Aboard Carpenter, for their participation in the program Guido Kazka where he stood out for his competition in traction with the collaborators of the pilot of the time.

Since then, his life has had a before and an after: overnight – as he defines it – he went from anonymity to fame. His followers multiplied on social networks, they asked him to give different interviews, and they also hired him as an advertising model and to be present at events. He used to be called Nahuel or Carpenter…, a nickname he earned on the animated show and which precisely refers to the job he has been doing since he was 14 when he started working in the family business: they today have a joinery in Lavallol and another in Escalade.

Despite the fact that they have not seen each other again, they have kept in touch through social networks, and three years ago they were encouraged to meet again. Once their personal problems were solved, they decided to meet, fell in love and never separated again. They have lived in the southern zone (where she is also from) for a year and a half and are now enjoying the arrival of their first child.

And four months after they got engaged, he saw how this man who was anonymous to many became a public figure. And she was there to accompany him in his growth. “It was overnight,” recalls Nahuel and maintains that it involved “a very big change” for his companion. “I always kept my roots in mind, I took care of her, my family, I keep my lifelong friends, I also continue to go to the same gym”, confides who chose to not changing his way of being when fame was at hand. reaching for hands.

“They started calling me from all over to take notes, go to appearances, photographic campaigns. It was also difficult for me, but I always kept my feet on the ground,” adds the young man who has never stopped working in the family carpentry. “Nati accompanied me in his own way and here we are, happy with the arrival of Ciro”, says the one who received the offer to drive during his wife’s pregnancy.
