About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning to be self-sufficient...

ABOUT ME

What? Why? How? Where?... REALLY!! We live in a crazy world where the answers of many questions seem to be hidden, that's why personal experiencies are one of the ways to get some truth.

Fighting my fears, explore the world (and myself) in a diferent way, looking for something that make me feel alive... and learning to be self-sufficient are my challenges for the next years.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to be as much altruist as posible!! If everybody does,the world will be much better.

All free things "taste" better. Money is the most alienating thing in the world, so my dream will be to scape from this world where you can't do nothing without it!! (I love hitchhikers, gardens, cs, linux, creative commons, squats,...)

As Goethe said "none are more enslaved than those who falsely think they are free" ; humans need to recover the meaning of life.

Always remember that: A man is what he does with what was made of him! (Sartre)
