About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning, helping, sharing - Do my bit to help to have a better world...

ABOUT ME
I was born and grew up in Argentina, then moved to Europe in 2006. I lived in Ireland and currently in Valencia Spain.

I have been very fortunate to have the chance to travel the world with my backpack and get to know other cultures, cool people, and different ways to see life. I love the diversity we have in the world and also respect the way of thinking and seeing life.
While in Rome, do as Romans do...

PHILOSOPHY
Treat others as you want to be treated. :-)
Love it, leave it, or change it.
