Overview
About Me
Updated: August 2018
Born and Raised in Panama. 11 years in Alaska after that.
Easy going. Usually bad with superficial talk, better in Conversations that have a hint of transcendence. Love simplicity in all aspects of life even though I know by the Nature of the world some life must be complicated, at least to our Brains.
I'm easy, I love conversation with strangers; By the fire even Better.
