CURRENT MISSION

I want to know as much as I can from the world...Now I just came back from a 18 months trip ...I want to know all kind of people, no matter gender, sexual preference, religion, etc..Now Im trying to organize all the work I did during my trip and settle down for some months in Mexico before starting the new adventure

ABOUT ME

Im Manuel and Im mexican...I love to live my life with total intensity...I was working as an office man but I got tired of it...Cant see myself seat all my life in front of a computer, so I decided to quit to my job next year and go travel for as much time as possible. At the beginning I was planning to travel for like 8 months but in the end I did it for 18 months. It was a wonderful experience.

Now that I came back home Im working as a photographer, as a writer (writing for a magazine and writing a book composed of short stories) and as a spanish teacher for foreigners.

I love music most of all, I play the guitar..I love watching and practicing sports, Im a good dancer, most of all of latin music and Im a good cook :)

PHILOSOPHY

I think that when you travel you feed your mind with new images, thoughts, smells, etc...You open your mind ...thats why for me is so important... This world needs that we are more comprehensive with the others and stop thinking that our way of see life is the only one...
