CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am a mexican electrical engineer currently studying in England. I am always trying to improve my self and do my best in everything. I am passionate and enthusiastic, curious and open-minded, willing to learn and re-think my ideas.

I know I am bit shy but I'm doing a conscious and determined effort to overcome that. I am very proud of my good friends and I would like to meet more interesting and authentic people from all over the world.

I'm happy to talk about everything or anything, discover places, hear jokes and laugh, play football or chess or anything. I'm also happy to do the dishes if necessary.

I really appreciate new findings and life-enriching experiences. I also appreciate the beautiful idea of friendly people offering their couch and hospitality.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dawn at the Sonora desert.

The Golden Gate half-hidden in fog.

The white cliffs of the south English coast.

Sonar lake testing in Oklahoma lakes.

The golden buildings of old Salamanca.

One or two decent chess games and a few hard-fought football matches with my friends.

And some more...

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm, I guess I could talk some about electronics, computers and technology in general, if you are into that. If you are interested in sonar I'm your guy!

I have been a chess coach in the past, and I'm very proud of my pupils, so I guess I can give you a few lessons. Of course, if you play better than me (which is very likely), I would appreciate the lessons myself!

I could talk about Mexican history (not very glorious so far, but there have been some interesting events). Also, I could practice Spanish, if you are learning.

I want to learn about everything really. I'm always interested in local culture, history and language. I'm a terrible cook, but I need to change that, so I would love to be a kitchen assistant and get a few pointers.
