CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm an explorer of life and people and of nature itself. I like to learn about every thing.

I love (LOVE) international politics. I love to understand how people and their countries interact. Finding out who really controls the country. Is it the people? Their elected officials? The religion? The media? Other countries?? I love understanding these things about different cultures from my own (in Chile and Latin America) So if you are not interested in these things, we may not get along so well, sorry!

I enjoy reading. First, of course, I love news. What is going on in the world. Second geo-politics. To see who is running the world. And all forms of acquiring knowledge, so for me all the people are important. Even if we differ greatly in viewpoints, as long as there is respect, it can be a happy friendship.

I am a cyclist. Mostly for sport but also to save money. So I may make you awkwardly ride around on my bike if we go to see some of the city.

Above all I'm open minded and sociable. So if you are similar we will get on just fine. I enjoy making connections with people. Not just for myself, but also connecting others around me.

PHILOSOPHY

First, Know yourself.
Second, Know your neighbour and your people.
Third, Know the world
