About Me

CURRENT MISSION

“You only need to know the direction, not the destination. The direction is enough to make the next choice.”

ABOUT ME

My first passion is dance, so most of my free time is involve with dance like contemporary, modern dance, improvisation, grooving....
Second passion is of curse traveling, within I can meet new people, discover and try new things. I TRAVEL because for me travelling is so much more then just go from one place to another it has a deeper intention.
To travel selectively - you can't go everywhere. By trying to see everything, you run the risk of seeing nothing.
To ravel purposefully - even if that's as simple as traveling with the intention of having an open mind and a kind heart.
To travel slowly - because speed is the enemy of attention. Take you time.
To travel empathetically - expand yourself, not by turning inward but by interacting, always respectfully, with others.
To travel joyfully - expectations are the enemy of happiness. Travel, at its best, shouldn´t only be meaningful, but fun. Otherwise what's the point?

PHILOSOPHY

Release your heart from hate
Release your mind from worries
Live simply,
Give more,
Expect less.

Music, Movies, and Books

Depends on many things, mostly on my state of mind so to say, but I like to discover new groups, performances books and artist.
Regarding movies, well, I am not a big movie fan, I like old movies or noir genre movies from 40's, 50's and 60's, Hitchcock films, l movies with Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Fred Astaire, all that includes music and dance.
From books, my favourites are Shantarm by. G.D. Roberts, On the road by J. Kerouac, all books by M. Kundera, E. Hemingway, Dante Alighieri, Hardy.. and I like to read very much artist autobiographies. And as I studied philosophy naturally I like read and reread books that involves the subjects about life.
From music genres I like all kind of styles: some to them more and some of them less. It all depends with who I am spending time with, the mood of the place, situation and also the mood of myself. :(

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
