ABOUT ME

Hello there, I'm Armando, from Santiago, Chile, I lived for almost 8 years in Buenos Aires, I love Argentina, but for family issues I had to get back to Santiago.
Well, here in my city I was very involved in the DIY scene, I have a proyect called Germenterror, and this is one of the most biggest Punk Blogs in spanish, the most important goal of this site is show to the people how everyone of us can improve this world.
So, changing the world doesn't pay my bills, so I have a little Design Enterprise, it is called Useme (that means Use Me in english)
Now I'm working for an airline in the middle east, it is pretty cool, I'm travelling a lot.
I'm quite shy at the beggining, but I like to make jokes and to talk about the world, listening and sharing histories and opinions, with a good drink.

PHILOSOPHY

“You begin saving the world by saving one person at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics.”
