CURRENT MISSION

Taking over the world. One country at the time.

ABOUT ME

Hi, everybody, I'm Alejandro! I'm an engineer working with Gas Turbines, and traveling most of the time for this reason. I really enjoy it, getting to know people from all over the world, different places, cultures. I try to avoid the tourist traps (Some of them are unavoidable) and mix with the local crew. I'm 1,80 meters and 80 kg, I love Traveling (obviously!) Music (tell me if there's a concert on your city!) and knowing people from other cultures (I usually work with people from all around the world).

PHILOSOPHY

Una de las escuelas de Tlön llega a negar el tiempo: razona que el presente es indefinido, que el futuro no tiene realidad sino como esperanza presente, que el pasado no tiene realidad sino como recuerdo presente.

One of the schools of Tlön even denies time. They get to the conclusion that present is infinite, that future is only present hope, and past is only present memory.
