About Me

CURRENT MISSION : travelling

Started in May 2015 flying to San Francisco. Western US for a month: Yosemite, Death Valley N.M., Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Zion, Bryce, Arches, Teton, Yellowstone, Glacier, Bend (Oregon), San Francisco, Reno, Fullerton.

Next: México, Cuba, Guatemala, Canada,...

Goal: discover how the world works, the nature, people, food, and culture.

ABOUT ME

Can't know "everything about me", we should meet if you want to know.

I enjoy doing new things, being at the nature, travelling, meeting people.
Specially meeting people, learning, discovering.
Dancing, moving, the sea.
Movies, music, singing.
Cooking, enjoying food.

I've been teaching to pay atention to the body by the Grinberg Method.
I've been working as a science teacher for teenagers as well.

PHILOSOPHY

I'd like to make a better world, if possible.
Better choice (to move and change things) than complaining constantly.
