CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

in general: I pay a lot of attention to details. I am very open-minded and easy-going. I love to laugh or just enjoy silence. more personal: I love to cook what my grandmother cooks, baking bread with my father, belly dancing with my mother, horror movies with my brother, yoga with friends or alone,go jogging when under pressure, humming melodies when happy, write and paint postcards as mementos for me or good friends,enjoying the view on high mountains, prepare unexpected surprises for a loved one.I am very curious to taste new food :D

PHILOSOPHY

Be myself and let others be themselves. Do not take everything for granted. Surpass your boundaries and think about the impossible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

found 100 francs on the road, at night. found 300us $ another night one year later.

going running at night and see just by chance a snail or a hedghog crossing the street (and be lucky to not to step on them...)

I went hiking all alone in New Zealand, but always got to meet amazing people on my way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I was born in Mexico City, live in Switzerland, moved around so many times I cannot remember, lived in NZ for a year (realised that saying "No!" is important and that I never will stop learning about myself), lived in Paris for 1 year (fighting for your rights is important!!long live French spirit for "grèves"), University life and studying is fantastic (but work is also great), lived in San Francisco for a year, started to do bouldering and lots of biking around the city , who know what the future brings. looking for a new job.
