CURRENT MISSION Always look on the bright side of life! I advocate and encourage the practice of "going with the flow", "being cool headed", and "taking it easy" in the face of unavoidable trouble or annoyances, for this is the only way to live in harmony with our inner nature and the challenges of interacting with other people. I also aim to assuage feelings of inadequacy that arise in societies which place a heavy emphasis on achievement and personal fortune. Consequently, simple everyday pleasures like bathing, bowling, and hanging out with friends are seen as far preferable to the accumulation of wealth and the spending of money as a means to achieve happiness and spiritual fulfillment. ABOUT ME I am a Physics teacher with a passion for travelling and education. I see the world as an open book, with many chapters still waiting to be written and read. Education through travelling can be a very useful tool to mitigate knowledge, as we rarely meet two people from the same background. I try to absorb those differences as much as I can and I try to spread my knowledge with as many people as I can. I like to travel with friends and my family (wife and son), but if they "don't have the time", I am always ready to hit the road by myself and meet people along the way! PHILOSOPHY Well, I described it earlier... but life is finite! Live for the present, learning from your past and always looking to the future. I find that music unites people. My guitar companion in my trips always helped me make new friends. While you are singing, you can't make enemies, you can have arguments, you can't fight a war... it is rhythmic peace! Feeling sad? Happy? Anxious? Nervous? Tired? There is always a song to compliment your mood!

Lo que puedo ofrecer a los hosts
Share what? I don't know what this means! I only share what people need and this highly varies! Being a human sponge and highly curious, no subject is taboo for me, so I REALLY hope you don't get offended if I grill you on your culture and beliefs, I ask out of pure curiosity and to attempt to decrease my ignorance on the subject! I hope I have as much to offer you as I will probably learn from you.
