About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world, meet good people, learn about everything, enjoy life

ABOUT ME

After three years working as an architect in Santiago I decided to left my comfort zone and try to find new experiences traveling. Since October of 2013 I started a different life, learning about people, places, cultures, nature, trying to open my view of the world.
In my traveling experience I have met amazing people and I´m interested to keep doing it.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, so do what makes you happy

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like to listen different kind of music. I like classic rock, jazz, classic music, pop, folklore, hip hop, R&B. I listen music very often and I´m always try to find something new.

Books: I love to read, I read different type of books depending on the interest at the moment. Lately I have been reading mostly ethnic books. Some good books I have read on this subject are: El Hablador (Mario Vargas Llosa), Las enseñanzas de Don Juan (Carlos Castañeda), El tercer ojo (Lobsang Rampa), Cometas en el cielo (Khaled Hosseini), Mil soles esplendidos (Khaled Hosseini), The island of Bali (Miguel Covarrubias), El medico (Noah Gordon).

Movies: The same with books, now I´m interested in ethnic movies
