About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission... to be happy! to live the present as good as i can, learn from people and places and hopefully help others do the same!

ABOUT ME

Im a bit shy sometimes but i can be pretty outgoing too... I really enjoy different experiences and people. I love talking about different cultures and politics.

I studied Political Science and International Relations back at Mexico, but I came to Sweden for an exchange semester and loved it. So this is my 4th time here! Now I'm studying my masters and when I finish I hope to go home and work before starting to think of doctoral studies.

Among my favorites authors are Gabriel García Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, Sylvia Plath. Among my favorite books are Jerusalem by Selma Lagerlof, The End of Mr. Y by Scarlett Thomas, Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visited and stayed at the Ice Hotel in the north of Sweden. It was my first CS experience and I loooved it!

The Cañón del Sumidero in Chiapas was also reaaaaally good. Chiapas in general is one of my favorite places! It has everything: nice landscapes, lots of water, interesting people and great food

Teach, Learn, Share

so far I think everyone can learn from each other. And having met people from other places has made me see things of myself and my country that otherwise i dont think i would have realized. so i dont know exaclty what but we can for sure learn something together. and i can for sure teach some spanish...
