CURRENT MISSION

I open myself to the known and the unknown.

ABOUT ME

I love to meet people and get to know how they really are, the ways they think and feel about the world so that our conversation can get as sincere as it can be, and I give myself that way too. I love cooking, i know lots of recipes, but i rather improvise something greater! i like to dance and sing, and write and i like to express myself in every different way i can. Of course i love visual arts, I studied fine arts in sculpture, you can check some of my works on my webpage! (www.juanpablobahamonde.cl)

And I'm gay, not that it defines me, but it might come in handy if you want some tips on the local gay sphere.

PHILOSOPHY

Dad, son, lover.
