Enjoying

ABOUT ME

I’m a history/literature student at Puerto Rico who likes to travel. I enjoy a talking, eating, drinking, walking, and all those gerunds! Currently I live in Puerto Rico but I’m thinking of moving out soon, after I finish my university degree (which I’m about to finish!). I travel almost all summers, and occasionally in Christmas. I think travelling has help me developed an awareness to cultural differences, which is something I appreciate; I don’t believe in any type or form of discrimination. I really enjoy traveling and stumbling upon. Well, if you want to know anything more, just ask! Cheers!

PHILOSOPHY

fluidity.

Interests

I’m interested in films (art films, italian films, french, film noir, contemporary films, american films as well (woody Allen, darren aronofsky, Scorsese, etc.), documentaries, etc.), literature (Dostoyevski, V. Woolf Flaubert, Carpentier, etc.) travelling, going-out (drinking), nature, and volunteer work (within Puerto Rico and abroad). I’m also interested in history and philosophy, good conversations, meeting people, learning about new languages and about new cultures, getting to understand different ways of thinking.

Teach, Learn, Share

Actually I think that the most important thing you get to see while travelling is people: a good conversation gives you access to other cultures, to new ways of coping with existence. So I think that travelling is always a living and changing process in which you develop some essential skills for understanding the complexity (and simplicity) of humanity (and human behaviour), as well as you learn about yourself. I think that travelling, and meeting new people, and sharing cultural experiences, gives you perspective from what you are.
