CURRENT MISSION To meet people from around the world, eat great food, smile a lot, amaze myself and others, dance to all beat, and enjoy fresh air here and there, and water too ABOUT ME I was born in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is a beautiful tropical island in the Caribbean (visit www.puertoricowow.com). I grew up in a town (city) called San Lorenzo. After High School I moved to a town called Mayaguez (west side of the island) to attend the University of Puerto Rico to study Mechanical Engineering. I graduated in May 2004 and started working as an engineer. I then moved to the USA (Michigan) to continue my studies. In 2012 I moved to France, where I have lived in 3 cities. PHILOSOPHY I believe that humans are capable of doing amazing things. My interest in sustainability (economy + environment+ society) drives me to improve my living style to one more environmental friendly. I have the hope that one day people will realize that nature is asking for our help and we, humanity, will respond. Sounds easy, but it is more complicated than that. But if in some occasions the power of one person can change the lives of many other, just imagine what the power of many can do. To accomplish this, there can't be any cultural barriers. My friends, there is a lot to do. Start today. There is nothing better than helping others and see them smiling. Doing such with food and dancing i smuch better.

Music, Movies, and Books
I like most types of movies, but prefer independent movies. I don't know why but Start Trek and Star Wars are not interesting to me. Music, everything but heavy metal. In terms of books I like to read everything that will make me learn something new. I am curious.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Well, no too amazing but one day I was going to a festival called Diwali organized by the indian community in my university. In my way to buy my ticket I asked a friend how to ask for the ticket in hindi. I went there and said "ek ticket do", and the girl was so surprise that eyes her were about to come out of her face. A Puerto Rican speaking hindi, not an everyday thing. I know this is not amazing, but I will have a better one whenever I remember hehe.

Well, I like to spend time doing sports even when I am not good at them, I just like to exercise and share with friends and new people. I like going to the movies, bowling, playing pool, jogging, tennis, basketball, volleyball, hiking, dancing, etc. I like to listen to music as much as I can.
