About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission on this planet is to care for environment and people, to make a better world and that is why I am in coach surfing to make barriers breakable and frontiers further away

ABOUT ME

I like many activities to do specailly sports like swimming, biking, and playing soccer.Mat be this is the one I do now the most because everybody plays and it it easier to find mates to play with. I like also hiking on mountains. In Ecuador there are many mountains that I like to go to. I am sometimes a little shy but usually I get confident after knowing the person a little bit, sometimes I have anxiety which I do not like at all. Nowadays I find myself better, studying hard for getting a master degree here in Brussels, it is nice to live 25minuts from the centre

PHILOSOPHY

I like Piotr Kropotkin philosophy. Specially, the ethics and nature points of view. He is an anarchist, who thinks that the intrinsic moral of human beings has to be the driving force of our actions. In nature and evolution stuff he says that cooperativism is a major force for evolution than competition. However i never stick to one philosophy to live my live
