My name is Luismi and I always try to be up for valuable exchanges. I strongly believe in human kindness and I tend to always look at life through the lenses of humour.

I was born and raised in Madrid but all my family is originally from Peru. I studied Aerospace Engineering as a bachelor, but at some point I realised that there was no way I could kept going with that for the rest of my life. I have always been more interested in philosophy and understanding what are we doing and where are we going as a society. I believe that we can do things better and that we need a fundamental change in the way that we relate to each other and to the planet. Right now, it is this search to make things better what moves me to meet people, exchange ideas and discover new places. In this sense, I decided to go to Denmark to study a master programme called Cities and Sustainability and then moved to Berlin to keep following this path. The rest is yet to find out.
