About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Building up my carreer, exploring and understanding the world

ABOUT ME

I would like to make new friends and expose myself to new people, places and experiences.

I am outgoing and free spirited. Living in different countries has made me super adaptable and mobile. I am a very open minded person. I believe in acceptance over tolerance. I am always ready to hit the road and try new things whenever there is a chance. I love road trips. Pop, trance and dance give beat to my heart. I speak English and Spanish fluently and I speak French and Italian with less fluency. I am a liberal person (not conservative) in my political views and in the way I handle myself.

I dwell on the present and never look back. I try to look forward into the future.

I love reading and writing. I hold a BA and a MA in international relations.

You will see me jogging every day for an hour, say 6 miles per day. I love the outdoors and I also go hiking.

PHILOSOPHY

Human relations and life are in constant change and are always uncertain. You cannot control neither predict life, so you need to be flexible, adaptable, accepting and forgiving. Always do your best now and you will increase the probabilities to be fine and happy in the future. Be open to changes. Adapt your self to circumstances and adapt circumstances for your benefit. Create alternatives and solutions. Seize opportunities. Give up when necessary in order to use your resources wisely. When overwhelmed by emotions, don't react emotionally but rationally to protect and promote your interests. Be patient because life is a long term process. Always have a strategy and tactics. Work to develop a successful career, have assets, have strong public relations, further your education, have a support system and be always fine in body and mind.
