ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Santiago de Chile, and living in Seattle, WA since 2003.

I am a user experience researcher for Microsoft. I am passionate about the way humans interact with technology and how we can use technology tools (such as couchsurfing.com) to improve our lives.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Cliche, but true. I am also interested in dialectical philosophy and I adopt those principles in all aspects of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about psychology and the human mind. but hey... I am not a psychoanalyst. I won't ANALYZE you. I do have to confess though that I like changing people's behavior. It is not manipulation, I just like making people more adaptive :)

I am also a strong believer in animal rights. Seattle is a great city to be a vegan, so I am always looking forward to meet up with fellow vegans and show them our great options.

If you want to speak spanish, I am open to that too :)

Se mucho de psicologia y de la mente humana.. pero hey.. no soy un psicoanalista. NO te voy a ANALIZAR. pero tengo que confesar que me gusta cambiar el comportamiento de la gente. No es manipulacion, solo que me gusta hacer a la gente mas adaptiva :)

Tambien soy un firme creyente en los derechos de los animales. Seattle es una gran ciudad para ser vegano, por eso estoy siempre buscando conocer veganos para mostrarles todas las opciones que tenemos aca.

Si hablas espanol, estoy abierto a eso tambien :)
