About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life! We only have one opportunity to live it so my main mission is to do what makes me happy and pursue all my goals.

ABOUT ME

Words that best describe me: Friendly, easygoing, optimistic,persistant, and open minded. I'm quiet but when you push the botton I can be extremely talkative.

I love arts, Surrealism really involves me, so I hope to do a Surrealist painting one day.

My current hobby is planning trips, and getting great deals for my trips. I work in project management, and I really love my career so much that I implement it in my personal life.

PHILOSOPHY

You only have one life - LIVE IT.

Books: I love reading, but lately I've been reading technical books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's so hard for me to choose two or three moments that have left me awestruck, because THERE ARE SO MANY!

Definetely one of the experience that I have truly enjoyed was dining at Schwartz's Deli in Montreal. I know it's something simple, but it felt great going to a place with so much history and having the experience to share with people from different places, since you have to share the table.

Another great experience was my Roadtrip in the US West Coast. Getting to know a little bit of San Diego was fantastic! I fell in love with that city. Also San Francisco, because I love arts and this city is amazing for open minded and artistic people.
