CURRENT MISSION

To destroy stereotypes.

ABOUT ME

Though task huh...Well, if I'm asked to describe myself, I'd say responsible, hardworking, respectful, patient, and a bit shy - but ALWAYS willing to have fun and make new friends!

I have always been in a very conservative and traditional society - which is cool, don't get me wrong, it provides you with great things such as confidence, security and stability in your life. Nevertheless, I've always wanted more...I have always wanted to broaden my mind and my horizons.

So, knowing that, the question was: how to do it? How to accomplish my desire? And the answer was simple, get to know what's beyond your comfort zone, get to know the world and everything in it: cultures, languages, music, traditions, costumes...and the best of all: PEOPLE.

So far, I have traveled to a couple of countries (quite a few for some, very few compared to others) and I've loved it! Some of my best experiences were riding high-speed trains across the mountains in Italy, talking to and sharing with native americans in Perú, and sitting in a meditation circle led by a Buddhist Monk in South Korea (even though I couldn't get a single word of what they were saying).

My bucket list is huge (includes almost every single country in the world). I know I won't be able to do it all, but I hope I can make the best out of it. For the time being, it's just one trip at a time, for I have to work hard to get to pay them.

In the meantime, I'd love to meet as many (cool and interesting) people as possible! And that includes YOU! Every one of us is able to provide each one another with a priceless amount of knowledge and even happiness.

So, if you agree with me, go ahead and contact me! I'm eager to hear from you!

PHILOSOPHY

If everyone on earth thought this way, we'd most definitely have a better world to live in:
Live and let live. Help and be helped. Love and be loved.
