CURRENT MISSION

To unravel the very fibers of life, and then to mess with them, and see what happens..

ABOUT ME

I was born in Lima, Peru, and moved to Wisconsin when I was 14 or so. Some time ago I decided to move to Germany in order to be able to travel around Europe for an extended period of time (well "officially" to get my Master's...). I think you should study hard, work hard and party harder!.

PHILOSOPHY

I think wisdom can be found even in the most unexpected places. I'm on a quest to meet as many interesting people as I can, and learn something new from them and hopefully maybe teach a thing or two. These are a couple of quotes I really like:

“If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there”
George Harrison

“The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see”
GK Chesterton

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish, English, Biology, Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, how to cook peruvian food (peruvian food is the best!!!)
I wanna learn new languages (or at least cool phrases in as many languages as possible), and really if anyone is willing to take the time to teach me anything, I'm willing to give it a try...
I can share my (hopefully good) company, my points of view, food.
