One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Best moment of my life was returning to my home country Venezuela in 2005 and spending time with my parents and friends all day and all night. It was awesome to go back to my city: Caracas.

Second best moment was moving to the United States in 2004 and adapting to a new culture, not knowing what to do and yet, surviving with what I had on hand! Cheers for those folks who moves to another country and do their best to adapt!

Third and last moment, was again, moving to another continent and fascinating country: France in 2010 and meeting new faces, new cultures from all over the World! in one single academic place: Grenoble Ecole de Management! Here is a recollection of all the moments I lived in France! Sante!! I miss you France! Link: http://vimeo.com/50019155

- Teaching: Not yet
