About Me

I'm a Chilean computer scientist that has always loved the idea of travel and finally started doing it! I'm traveling through Italy and really love the outdoors and meet new people.

I'm a big promoter of a whole food plant based lifestyle and that has been my passion for the last 2 years since I went vegan.

My biggest hobbies besides that are running, hiking, singing, playing guitar and Pokemon GO :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly listen to bands like The Beatles, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Oasis, and latin music too such as Soda Stereo, Los Tres and Joe Vasconcellos.

My favorite book is the one that started me up on this amazing journey of evidence-based nutrition called How Not to Die by Dr. Michael Greger

In movies I really like everything that Christopher Nolan has directed (Memento, Inception, Interstellar, The Dark Knight, Insomnia, etc) but I really spend more time watching series, and undoubtedly the first spot will always go to Breaking Bad!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped off a plane

Decided a couple of weeks ago to quit my job as a Data Analyst to create a startup promoting a whole food plant based lifestyle to fight chronic disease.

Teach, Learn, Share

In regards to health and lifestyle I can teach what I've learned so far in the last 2 and a half years and all the amazing information I learned while taking a plant based nutrition course at eCornell.

I'd love to have someone to practice my very primitive Italian :D

Share music interests and tips to get the most out of traveling

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to sing and play the guitar so I'm always up for karaoke!
Would love to provide assistance and share my experience on improving nutrition and fighting chronic disease.
Good skills at playing FIFA too :)
