About Me

I'm from El Salvador. I'm studying my master program in finances at Gothenburg University in Sweden. I love sports (specially running and tennis) nature (specially mountains, forests and lakes) and I'm very curious about the world and people, so I love traveling and learn about different cultures.

I enjoy eating the local dishes of the countries I visit, I believe this is important to understand the local culture. I also like to visit art and history museums, try the local beers (specially IPA's) and hang in the local tematic pubs.

I like deep conversations. I'm very interested in human behavior so I really enjoy discussing about philosophy, societies patterns, psychology, politics and all related topics.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kind of films but right now I'm focusing on independent dramatic films from all parts of the world. I think this kind of films (at least the good ones) help you to understand more about human nature and societies in general.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have ran 3 marathons: Chicago, Berlin, El Salvador Olimpic marathon. I'm planning to do the next one in Stockholm this year.
