About Me

ABOUT ME

Currently living in London.
I love meeting new people and feeling amazed of how serendipity works. In fact, I feel the happiest when I connect with people that are totally different from me but make me feel enlightened.
I am very commited to what I do for work, I enjoy working to make things better for people other than myself and I want to continue growing and learning in this regard.

I enjoy reading about world politics, economics and sociology.
I ride my bike almost everyday to work, I recycle and (try to) do kundalini yoga once a week. I try to incorporate spirituality and awareness as much as possible to my every day life.
I also find that going out dacing is a very effective way to release stress and makes me very happy.

Besides that, few things bring me more joy than a scoop of great quality vanilla bean or chocolate chip mint ice cream. As you can guess, I'm a bit of a foodie, I like to discover new places to eat in Santiago and I love to go for the local food when I travel. I truly believe food is a way to many things, specially understanding other cultures and world views. Antony Bourdain is my guru.
I'm not a vegetarian but I try to eat as little meat as possible.

Love dogs and I have developed apprecciation for cats too.
