CURRENT MISSION
My mission in life is to be free. Im really convinced that we need to make the most of our lives. If you love something and you think that you should do it, so have to do it. It´s simple like that.
ABOUT ME

I love working and i´m relatively succesful in what i do, so far. But, despite this, im decided to enjoy this little trip named life. So, im here, looking for a new adventure.
What´s expecting us out there? Let´s find out.
PHILOSOPHY
Summarized in this brilliant quote:
"Más vale arrepentirte de lo que hiciste, que de lo que dejaste de hacer"
Jorge Luis Borges

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I think that the most amazing thing that i´ve ever done is traveling. I already know some countries with so diferent cultures, and i´ve even had the opportunity of living abroad.
Is so necesary to pinpoint that i love to learn, so in every single place where i have been i´ve tried to enrich my life, nourishing it with those that every one have given to my life.
So, in this way, i have something to give to the others. I have been in more than 30 countries.
Teach, Learn, Share
I could teach you some salsa dancing,spanish, watercolor painting, camping skills and have long conversations about almost every topic that you want.
Literature, traveling, latinamerican culture, movies and art are my favorite ones.
Because of my job im a communications expert and i have made a lot of tv spots, advertising campaigns, corporative images and more.
I made bachelors in Advertising and Design and a Master´s Degree in Marketing. So if you are interested about graphic design, running a bussiness or related subjects i could be so handy for you.
