About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn and be learned

ABOUT ME

I am 23 years old and I recently graduated from University. I enjoy meeting new people and experiencing the weird and new. I believe that life is absurd and that we should all do our best to experience as much as it has to offer. Taking risks and remembering that this moment is the most important moment that I'll ever know. Challenging myself to try new things, trusting strangers, and feeling the extremes of every sensation.
Also, I'm very interested in doing positive work in my community and abroad. Let's live.

PHILOSOPHY

I suppose I'm trying to figure it out everyday. Learning from every experience and trying to stay as positive as possible. Love and stuff like that.
Things will keep improving if I work on bettering myself everyday, right?
Slowly, growth occurs.
As you can see, my philosophy is quite jumbled, but it's coming together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Witnessing the sun slowly rise over a river delta in El Tigre, Buenos Aires, and seeing night become day as the full moon gradually floated away into the purple sky.

Teach, Learn, Share

In my younger and more venerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.

"Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."
