ABOUT ME

I was born and grew up in the colosal Mexico city where I lived until 2005, it was then when I moved to Sweden to study a Masters Degree. That's where I have found peace at the moment and have not thought about moving somewhere else. Winters don't seem to get any shorter though...

I enjoy the company of my friends, doing Capoeira wherever I go. Skateboarding during the summer, inline skating to remember my years in Mexico, reading about philosophy, life, and the Universe.

Here is a peek at what inspires me:

PHILOSOPHY

* Everyday is full with infinite possibilities (even thought we insist on creating the same reality over and over).
* Love is all around us.
* Nothing is forever, except change (From Buddha)
* The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure while always arriving. It saves on introductions and goodbyes. The ride does not require explanation (Waking life)
