CURRENT MISSION

to learn from the world around us.

ABOUT ME

I am a very open minded person who loves to travel and meet new people. I discovered the concept of Ubuntu while in South Africa and have taken it to heart. I believe people only become human through their interaction and connection to other people and places. I have had the pleasure to learn a lot while living in the United States, France, South Africa, and currently Ireland.

PHILOSOPHY

"The people I find most infuriating are the perenially miserable: the sort who say 'just my luck' or 'story of my life, that is'. I feel like saying to them, 'look. If you are a Hutu from Rwanda who accidentally strolls into an armed Tutsi warrior camp, then you are entitled to go "huh, just my luck. Story of my life." But if you've gone down the shops for a packet of biscuits and they've run out of your favourite sort, shut the fuck up and put up with it." - Mark Steel - Reasons to be Cheerful

Algo increíble que he hecho

I had the chance to do an internship with the Treatment Action Campaign in Khayelitsha, South Africa and met some of the most wonderful people in the world.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I am a enthusiast of History and Politics and hope to work in the field of conflict resolution and peace building. I think there is countless stuff i can learn from anyone or even anyplace and thus i am in no position to be the "teacher" (although i did teach english in Nancy, France from Sept. '07- May'08)
