About Me

From 2007 to 2014 I worked as a Systems Analyst and Software Test Lead in México.
In the second half of 2014, due to my second degree, I moved to Spain to an academic exchange to study Law.
In the first half of 2015 I traveled around 30 different countries between Europe, Asia and Africa.
In the second half of 2015 I returned back to Mexico to work one year in the IT industry.
In the second half of 2016 I quitted my job to create a trademark and start a project named "Conociendo Pueblos Mágicos", that consists in travelling through all the 111 Magical Towns of Mexico, document all the cultural and touristic attractions of these places, and promove them on Facebook, Youtube and Instagram.

I love to know different places, cultures and people. I am a person that likes to keep busy, nowaday with all the different things to do in life it´s impossible to be bored. Can´t live without music (specially rock, classical or folk) . Good sense of humor. Like to do sports. I really enjoy the deep conversations. Vegetarian for 10 years (not anymore). Agnostic when talking about a personal god, pantheist when talking about something superior than humans.

Interests

I like spending time in everything about: science; nature; music (rock, metal, folk and classical music); philosophy; history; religion; arts; cultures; traveling, socializing; sports; gym; astronomy; justice; reading; Facebook.
