About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm not too sure yet. Right now I'm in college but sometimes I feel like packing a bag and heading out to travel while I'm still young.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 24 year old kid. I grew up in California until I was 13 and then moved to Argentina. I made an enormous group of friends over there who are now my closest friends. I moved back to California by myself to finish high school and continue on to college. I am now continuing my college education in Argentina because I was unable to pay the enormous amount of money required for an education in the states. I have a passion for travelling because my parents got me into it. We'd always take summer vacation trips. And in 2005 we moved to Argentina by driving all the way down there; that trip changed my life and I know now that I want to keep visiting new places and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not too sure what my personal philosophy is, I feel like I should be asking my friends that because I think they know me better than I know myself. And I think that's what makes up a great part of my life; friends, family, and traveling. I honestly never feel so much at home as when I'm with my friends or when I'm in a beautiful place I've never been before. I'm still not completely sure of who I am or what I want, but I hope to be able to find that answer through my friends and through my travels. I think that's the first step in life, getting to know yourself, and then later setting off to do whatever it is you're going to do in this life, but what do I know, I'm just a kid. However, I think the reason I live my life is for my friends/family and to travel this world and learn all I can from it.

Interests

What really grabs my attention is traveling, this planet, my friends. I like to go on adventures and meet new people. I spend lots of time with my friends just hanging out, but I also get those episodes where I like to be alone and just think, just reflect on the past and think about what I want to do in my future, just clear my head. I'm fascinated by this planet, I love nature and there are many many places I'd love to visit before I die.
I'm also really into martial arts, parkour, nutrition and physical training.
I did over 8 years of karate and have been doing parkour for over 2 years.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love watching movies, and music is a huge part of who I am. I'm really open to almost any movies, though I don't really enjoy romantics or dramas too much.
I wish I were a better reader, there are lots of books out there that I'm interested in reading, but I get too distracted so it takes me forever to get through just one unless I'm really dedicated.
When it comes down to music, I know the music I listen to is not the most popular, but that's part of why I love it, but I'm tolerant of other people's tastes so I don't mind other people listening to their stuff. I just try to keep mine to myself, or listen to it when it won't bother others since I know many people don't like it. I listen to rock, metal, and classical music. My favorite genre's though are Power metal and Symphonic metal.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One moment was a 2 month and 11 day trip, where my dad, my mom, my brother, and I drove down from Los Angeles California, to Argentina; the things we saw and the people we met was just incredible, everything from Mayan ruins in Mexico, volcanoes in Guatemala, rain forest in Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, desert beaches in northern Peru.
Another moment was when I went to the Iguazu waterfalls in Argentina and Brazil with my mom and my brother. I was literally shocked by the beauty of it, it was amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not really sure what I have to offer, I always like learning new things but I never thought of teaching. I know a lot of karate, parkour, I have stories and experiences I can share. Spanish. I like learning new things, I was learning guitar at one point but things got in the way and I never could. I wish I had more to offer... I know a few Argentinian cuisines, but other than that I think the most I can offer are two working hands.
