Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Meet different people and realities from the world, and to be involved in a positive way
ABOUT ME
I just graduated on Economics and right now I decided to hold up a year before I throw myself into a Masters degree. During this year I want to absorb as much as possible and a huge part of it will be travelling. Adapting to new places is one of my faourite sensations and one that I must explore.
I am not the best party animal around nor even close to that but I am always open to cultural and leisure activities, from a concert to a couple of beers over any conversation.
I see myself as an active person who likes to be involved and learn everything the world has to teach.
I love music, in fact i play guitar as an hobby
. I also play basketball since some years ago .
Obviously, one of my main passions is traveling and being in touch with different people from different cultures and realities
PHILOSOPHY
I think life is very short and there is a huge world as the best way to make it worthy, being active and persistent, as well as not being afraid to leave your confort area in every dimension are requisites to make a live worthy

It's the best way to make our travelling dreams possible and at the same town to see and understand how the local way of living is in each place

Music, Movies, and Books
It's very difficult to make me not enjoy a specific music, nevertheless I have my own tastes and I would highlight Arcade Fire, Blur as my top 2. Else, I could spend all they enumerating bands that I follow with names as Band of Horses, Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai, and much much more.
David Lynch, David Fincher, Coen Brothers, Quentin Tarantino and Cristopher Nolan monopolize the huge majority of movies that had me mindblown.
Unfortunately I don't read as much as I should and I should be ashamed for that. Right now my reading is Mario Vargas Llosa's The Civilization of spectacle. The metamorphosis is probably the book I have in mind most often from the ones I read before.
