About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have a good time and find the subtle things in life.

ABOUT ME

I'm a free spirit in a structured envelope. I enjoy traveling because it lets me to learn, laugh, and makes me less dumb.
I've traveled, worked, and volunteering in many places and I want to keep this going for as long as possible because every experience has been so enlightening. In fact, my girlfriend and I met at a Youth Hostel in China and we've been solid since. Ariel and I have a life mission to learn about as many cultures as possible and embrace change.
I'm open-minded and love to talk about anything, just as long as I don't do all the talking. I'm a good friend and a low-hastle guest.

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice to others regardless of how life treats you.
To be fulfilled, you have to take risks, but at least calculate them a bit.
Some of your most cherished memories weren't planned.
