CURRENT MISSION

Knowing new places and people with good sense of humour

ABOUT ME

I was born in 1982 in Santiago and i grew up in a very thypical middle class chilean family. The education has always been a main topic for my parents so they enroled me in high level schools of the city.

I lived with my grandmother when i was a child. She was teacher of History so i had to study with her (obligated), appart of school. Nowadays i am very grateful about her teachings. She showed me other point of view to understand the people.

Today as an architect i enjoy drawing, and walking and biking and talking about cities. I think it is great having the possibility to travel doing it, living new experiences every day. But, Above all, i like knowing funny and intresting people.

PHILOSOPHY

It is great knowing other people. It is funny to realize how different and similar are humans around the world.

There is an important point that usualy society does not realize: is that we are made of the same nature. Even when it sounds like an old speech, it is real and it is great to living it. That is because i like to participate in these kind of community programms.
