About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Try to save enough to go around the world for ever

ABOUT ME

I love traveling! I love turning off my computer to go outside and enjoy the sun. I love every little thing about this thing called life, even the bad things. I'm optimistic and relaxed. I try to live in the present and minute by minute. I love reading and live music. I want to be a writer. I'm trying to be in balance with myself, I think that is important. I love kids and animals. I love soccer and tennis games. I have a lot of friends and I believe I don't have any enemies.
I enjoy doing crazy complicated things and also a day walking on the park. I strongly believe I am a good soul.

I live and study in Chile at Universidad Alberto Hurtado.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is not a destination, is a road.
Every second of it delights,
Every moment of it is sacred,
Life itself
is an endless gift.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite book of all times: The Magic Mountain. Also 1984, Rayuela, and a lot of other books. I read a lot!

Indie rock, pop, rock 'n roll, classical music, jazz, love blues, and always ready to rock and roll!

Movies: LOVE Quentin Tarantino's movies, all of them. Goodfellas, Godfather, Naturally born Killers and a lot of other stuff. Sometimes I forget all the movies I have watched and the books I have read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Put my head out from the highest part of a ship and see the sunrise.

Walk for 12 days to see a giant glaciar.

Paragliding over Mexican ocean.

Spend a week with a jewelry maker in the middle of the Atacama desert.

push a guy off from a cliff (down there was a 50meters deep lagoon, but anyway, I pushed him XD).

Scuba-diving in Mexico and Chile.

Run bare foot in the desert.

Rescue an owl from the highway. We had to kill him at the end :( he was very damaged.

Walk around an island with my back pack in the south of Chile.

Back pack a month in Peru.

Road-trip on a really small car with four people for a month, and I mean, really small car.

Road-trip number 2 with Mathijs, Jordi and Heloise through the east side of the US. I just loved every minute of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can teach you spanish and I can cook for you almost all kind of things, I love cooking. I can give reiki too.

Learn: I learned english at school and I really want to learn German some day. I have not particular reason to do so, is just that I want to. I love learning about almost everything, so don't be shy on showing your skills.

Share: Love the world and the world will love you back.
