About Me

🌍 World Citizen | Volunteer | Sustainability & Social Development Advocate

I’m a traveler with a purpose, always looking for ways to connect, learn, and create a positive impact wherever I go. My journey has taken me to different parts of the world, working on social development, youth empowerment, and sustainable entrepreneurship projects. I truly believe that knowledge and action can transform lives.

My most recent adventure was in Zambia, where I led a project helping young people from vulnerable communities build sustainable businesses using second-hand clothing, recycling, and circular economy principles. Over the years, I’ve developed training models, implemented sustainability strategies, and worked closely with communities to create opportunities for growth.

Now, I’m exploring new ways to combine my love for travel, volunteering, and social impact—always looking for the next project, experience, or connection that will inspire me.

My Travel Philosophy

For me, traveling is not just about visiting places—it’s about understanding them. I love immersing myself in different cultures, living like a local, and contributing to meaningful projects. Through international volunteering, leadership programs, and community work, I’ve learned that real change happens from within.

Interests

Amo: La música. Febrero. Dormir y despertar sin alarma. Libros. Los caballos. Las naranjas. El sol. Reír tontamente. Los comienzos. Los amaneceres. El cine. La gente firme que sigue sus propios principios, no los impuestos. Las estrellas. El Baile. The Beatles. Los cumpleaños. Conocer diferentes culturas. El arte. Los abrazos honestos. Serle útil a alguien. La felicidad de la gente que me importa. Encontrar gente pensante. Dejar la garganta en un concierto. Los lugares donde la vista se pierde en una inmensidad verde. Encontrar gente que escriba correctamente. Encontrar la verdad del universo en una canción. Fotos viejas. Montañas. Arboles. Los clásicos de Disney. La sonrisa de un niño.... Miles de detalles que hacen de la vida hermosa. En realidad... Ver más allá de lo que los ojos pueden ver.
