About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Learn as much as possible, always.
ABOUT ME
I'm a pretty opinionated person, but I also like to be challenged, as long as the conversation is respectful.
My lifestyle is what some would call ''alternative'', I move a lot, grow my own food as much as possible, I heal myself (and people who come to me) using traditional plant knowledge.
I like learning new skills (mechanics, construction, etc), I'm a DIY kinda person.
I'm really involved in social movements or anything related.
I like meeting new people (dah)
I'm a very good dancing partner.
I think the more random a situation is the more awesome it gets.
I LOVE mountains, thay make you learn so much about yourself.
Defeats are lessons.
I am 5' tall.
Enough.
ANY RACIST, SEXIST, HOMOPHOBIC AND/OR TRANSPHOBIC ATTITUDE WILL RESULT IN A KICK IN THE BUTT. (Not really but I will ask you to leave)
PHILOSOPHY
QUESTION AUTHORITY
I think people need to start thinking for themselves.
''Unquestionned beliefs are the real authorities of a culture. Therefore, if an individual can express what is undeniably real to him (her) without invoking any authority beyond his own experience, he (she) is transcending the belief systems of his (her) culture.''
-Robert Combs

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I had the chance to rush in the Junkanoo parade, held annually in The Bahamas. It took me at least 25hrs to paste my costume, but it was totally worth it :)
I went camping 1km away from Volcan de Colima and woke up in the middle of night to see a pyroclastic flow, amazingly beautiful!
Went hiking a week on my own in the mountains of Colombia, difficult but very rewarding!
