About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Understanding the sustainability of our world.

ABOUT ME

I really love to learn and, therefore, to exchange with others. I began my studies in Physics Engineering in 2010 at Polytechnique of Montreal. I'd like to study all my life any kind of matter: almost all sciences, philosophy, psychology, sociology, anthropology, whateverlogy, etceteralogy.

I could not go through all this learning process without sports, though. I've played in baseball, soccer, hockey, football and handball teams. The only one I'm still practicing is hockey cosom.
When I play sports, I am still a kid who just wanna have fun with friends. I hate when there is too much competition between teammates
I am the same in life; I still believe in imaginary things although I face the reality.
When I meet people, I am a very quiet person who is just, in fact, analyzing the mood to fit in.
I am a kind of Chameleon who can live with everybody. I am very easy-going. However, although I can fit with almost everybody, I always keep my own personality. I am being myself in different contexts.

PHILOSOPHY

Let's discuss that face to face...
Around meals or drinks...
With good music in background
And a proper lighting
