About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Move, Learn

ABOUT ME

I'm an outgoing, open-minded person. I enjoy learning from all sort of knowledge. I love traveling inside and abroad my country Colombia because i consider traveling a way of learning from first hand about other cultures and people that think differently, and therefore making life more rich and overwhelming.

Someone once said "Traveling is the only thing that you can buy that actually makes you richer", and i strongly believe it's the truth, it makes you social and respectful person by opening your mind to new points of view.

I was born in México- Guadajalara, but was raised all my life in Bogotá D.C. I been pretty much everywhere in my Country. I've traveled to United States three times, and coushsurfed once in Washington D.C.

I live with my mom Clemencia and brother Nicolas. I'm an intermediate Kitesurfer passionate for renewable energy.

PHILOSOPHY

You only live once. I believe "knowledge is not a glass to be filled, but a bulb to be lighted" and this is specially true when the perfect sentence in the perfect time change forever the way you think. I live to be happy and make other happy, i want to make this world a better place, i strongly believe in environmental management and the potential of renewables, and this drives my career as an engineer.

Music, Movies, and Books

As a mid 90's guy i love Blink-182. Recently Jack Johnson, Passenger, One republic and other alternative music artist. I love latin music aswell, have a couple of local band that i really enjoy "Sin animo de Lucro" and "San Alejo" which already disbanded. I can teach you dance Salsa and Merengue well enough for a Rolo, that means a guy from Bogotá (not popular for their dancing capabilities)
