About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'd rather be a mind traveller than a place traveller. Every mind is a whole world to explore!

ABOUT ME

I'm a Venezuelan guy, addicted to travelling and meeting people around the world!

I would say I'm a laid-back, easy-going person.
I like authentic and active people to have a fun time.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal motto is:
Always err on the side of action

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies, I very often watch new and old ones. Currently, I'm trying to finish the top 250 list in imdb.com :) I could spend the whole day naming my favorites. I really like the ones directed by Tarantino and Stanley Kubrick.

I like a lot of different music genres; mainly alternative rock, indie, salsa, reggae, bossa nova, classical. My favorite band is Incubus, followed by The Beatles :)

I'm not that much of a reader, it's hard for me to start reading a book, but once I've started there are few things that can stop me from finishing it :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch-hiked around 2500 km in five days with several different trucks/cars with only a backpack

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach some Salsa dancing and some Spanish language (with Venezuelan accent :P) I'm always looking forward to learn new languages, philosophies, experience different cultures, and meet interesting people!
