ABOUT ME

I was born in Mexico City, and I grew up and in NYC. And I also have an Irish passport. I love to experience new things all the time, and have deep conversations about all topics. I really love connecting with people who have a strong passion or mission in life. I have two nationalities, and I have learned 12 different languages and have lived in Mexico, Ireland, Santiago de Chile, Warsaw, Eindhoven, Berlin, London, Manila, Yangon, Seoul, Bangkok, SF, Ho Chi Minh, Taipei, Hanoi, Tbilisi, Yerevan, Izmir, Tirana, Belgrade and Copenhagen.

I like meeting new, interesting, crazy-daring people, and exchanging loads of ideas is an obsession of mine.

I quit my job in 2008. And since then I have been starting tech companies. Yahoo press about my startup life http://yhoo.it/1MEqWuJ and more here http://bit.ly/1TF2SMX. Currently I have two companies ( http://latamtechmeetup.com) and http://globalsouth.net. I am obsessed about connecting tech people from emerging markers (Latin America, Africa, MENA, India) with the US. I initially started this community a year ago, has grown to several thousand people in NYC, SF, Miami, Sao Paolo and London next. Press here http://kng.ht/1gW2XyN

I am a hardcore learner and idea explorer and I believe that this life is best invested in doing something you love.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm all about focusing on meaningful stuff, changing the world and creating impact on earth. I am all about emancipating humanity, and providing people from all around the world with more options and perspective in life.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

教，学，和分享

I've been working on my own companies for 14 years now, so I can talk a lot about entrepreneurship, but I consider myself an artist, as I do what I love everyday. And I try to keep a very simple life.

I will be super happy to meet other amazing travelers or people and share everything I've learn from my travels, life and companies I have started. I have travelled to 86 countries!
