CURRENT MISSION

...Discovering the little blue dot floating on the black deep sea... and rediscovering myself in the meantime...

ABOUT ME

I was born in the lovely city of Bogotá in Colombia, but my curiosity and my desire of building my own path have brought me to a city that has simply enchanted me: Torino.

I studied mathematics and engineering in Colombia and in Italy, two very different ways of approaching an issue that complement each other when looking for a solution. I'm also a piano and guitar player (a former P&G player to be precise) but piano takes the first place in my love for instruments and music: I've been in love with it since I was a kid. Sitar an tabla are my newest interests. I enjoy listening to music that resonates in my being and is able to change my mood with its notes and appreciate high skilled music players aswell.

I love cooking, drinking wine and its not so sophisticated relative, beer; eating sweets and coupling all this activities with a nice company a good conversation and some laughs... and it's something I like to do with my hosts and guests through CS: I've managed to share tons of stories, experiences, ideas that enrich my thought and creates new friendships.

I consider myself an active person, daring one, looking for the next challenge, trying to find out which my limits are. I'm attracted to heighs and speed (skydiving is a must for me) and the element I feel totally identfied with is WIND. I've always felt my place relies in the skies... there I really feel free.

So if you're coming to Turin and if our timing is sync, crash into my house, or meet for a coffee or a delightful ice cream, let's prepare a nice meal, drink something while talking for a while and then, I'd try to show you the reasons why it's an echanting city, a hidden pearl protected by the mighty Alps.

... and I almost forget: I love dancing... Specially SALSA!!!!
