About Me

Hello people from all over the world

I'm looking forward to meet new people to share with. People who i can feel connected in any aspect of life. People who can feel themselves special. People who want to share experiences in this magical opportunity called life

Path travel

I have lived almost all my life in cities. Nevertheless, while i travel, nature has been pulling me back to recognize the beauty of her patterns, her simplicity, her complexity and her complicity with the human being. To accept -the non control- we have over the process of nature and life it's a -must be- to assume the big challenge we have in front of our own present to become a better humand kind. Walking in the same planet it's a condition but what we do with the time we have, it's a very pragmatic and serious decision to take

I have been traveling all my life, most of the time in Venezuela. Three years ago i decided to travel from America to Asia

Formation and teaching

I have always been a curious person in different fields of knowledge: art appreciation, draws and paints in different mediums. I studied graphic design and photography. Then I started teaching theory of color and photography in the University and as a private teacher while i was studying

I love to learn from people as I love to teach

#Sports: basketball, volleyball, capoeira, ultimate frisbee, climbing, skate and longboard

Food

I have cooked for a long time in Venezuela and had the opportunity to work in different restaurants in NY.
Simple: let's cook together please * )

Philosophy

The most beautiful and interesting things in life are always subjective

Do the best for others unconditionally, the universe will do the rest

Life is a boomerang. Everything you give, you will receive it back . Everything you take, the universe will compensate it for you. Practice until you become allowed to feel and see the real you who waits in the other side of the mirror

It's ok to be lost. In order to recognize your-true-self, you first have to find what's that that makes you feel deeply alive and curious about being here in the planet earth

Guest

Kind, generous, responsable, on time, clean, open minded, sometimes reserved and serious, sometimes joker. Human being / Not perfect at all
