About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning as much as I can!

ABOUT ME

I'm a positive person. I always try to see the good side on everything. Every day is a learning process so I try to see the "bad" things as only experiences or lessons. I enjoy to know new places and meet new people that's why I decided to do a Master degree in another country. I believe that you don't get to know the culture fully if you don't know the people. Also the food! There's nothing better than going to another place and trying typical dishes! But please never ask me to cook for you because I'm a lousy chef! ;)

PHILOSOPHY

“Cities were always like people, showing their varying personalities to the traveller. Depending on the city and on the traveller, there might begin a mutual love, or dislike, friendship, or enmity. Where one city will rise a certain individual to glory, it will destroy another who is not suited to its personality. Only through travel can we know where we belong or not, where we are loved and where we are rejected.”

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a wide taste in movies but if I needed to choose I would pick Cidade de Deus, Trainspotting, Midnight in Paris and The Big Fish as my favorite movies. As for books I enjoy reading latin american authors like Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Isabel Allende. When it comes to music it depends on the mood!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. A mini eurotrip in 2011. Met awesome people and amazing places.
2. Leaving México to study in the Netherlands. It's been a 180° change and it's been incredible.
3. Visiting Turkey was an amazing experience.
4. Meeting new friends and visiting them in their homes has taught me a lot, giving me new perspective.
5. Moving to Barcelona, such a beautiful city.
