About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm an open-minded person, friendly, eager to meet new people from all around the world. I love to have conversations about many things, politics, sports, life, love and I really enjoy learning from new experiences that people share with me.
I have had the chance to visit several countries. I spent 4 months backpacking in South East Asia on 2017 and recently I spent one month in Mexico and another one in Argentina. I love to travel and meet new people, culture, gastronomy, etc.

FAVORITE QUOTE (Which I think describes very well the current world system)

"The big bankers of the world, who practise the terrorism of money, are more powerful than kings and field marshals, even more than the Pope of Rome himself. They never dirty their hands. They kill no-one: they limit themselves to applauding the show.
Their officials, international technocrats, rule our countries: they are neither presidents nor ministers, they have not been elected, but they decide the level of salaries and public expenditure, investments and divestments, prices, taxes, interest rates, subsidies, when the sun rises and how frequently it rains.
However, they don't concern themselves with the prisons or torture chambers or concentration camps or extermination centers, although these house the inevitable consequences of their acts.
The technocrats claim the privilege of irresponsibility: 'We're neutral' they say."
