CURRENT MISSION I'm focused on getting my degree as a civil engineer while I enjoy the beauty of this world. I love traveling, especially because I have the change to meet all kinds of people who have thought me more than my school could had ever had. I still believe in the goodness of people and I try every day to show the importance of selflessly helping others. ABOUT ME At this point of my life, I am trying to enjoy and learn from every experience I have the chance to live. I am a civil engineering student at National University of Colombia. Where will I be tomorrow? I am glad I don't know. I am calm, happy, respectful, honest and responsible. PHILOSOPHY I understood that everyone is different and that difference is what counts. Right now I am at college preparing myself to be usefull for my country. Also, I see my life as an extraordinary journey that I MUST enjoy at each step.

I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, walking around the city (you'd be surprised with the things you can find in your own city if you only take the chance to look further) , traveling. During my spare time (that's if all my school work allow me to) I go to the movie theater, go watch plays and comedy shows, go to pubs with friends, talk and try to have a good time. I also enjoy reading. I go 4 or 5 times per week to my gym. I try to enjoy every moment of my life.
