About me... as my old friend always says: "I am all these things that I've done ". At this moment I’m in Mexico helping people.
At the beginning I had a normal life, right now it's totally crazy hahahahaha
The beginning of the story was quite typical: graduated from university, started my company in Asia, and... after changed my life and started to live my dream (actually still do not understand what happened to me hahahahah (probably, just got bored of living an ordinary life :-) )), I left everything and went to Tibet to become a Buddhist monk (that was always one of my dreams).
After that, I began to travel the world, create a variety of projects (organic farms, free clinics for poor people), speak at conferences, and inspire people to live the life they always wanted to live. So far I have been to more than 140 countries(to be honest, not sure how many I visited right now hahahahaha ), now I am in Latin America and looking for new ideas, and I hope we can meet and share some of them ;-)
