ABOUT ME

I enjoy meeting new people and cultures, interact with others is one of my greatest passions, because I think that you can always learn something of everyone.
The one thing that drives my life is my passion about peace building. Im part of a transnational network of peacebuilders, call "Lets sorround the dialogue" and we focus on supporting the negotiated exit of armed conflicts (specially in Colombia) by building a culture of dialogue.

PHILOSOPHY

As leonardo Dicaprio said once in Titanic (BTW, Im Superfan of Dicaprio, and yep, of Titanic Too), my Philosiphy is live to make each day count.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music in general, Im always surprised about how powerful music is. You can transform any kind of conflict, wheter is a conflict with yourself, a friend or your partner but also you can find in music a way to transform more complex conflicts, like national armed conflicts or international. Music inspires you to think out of the box, and helps you to change your state of mind so you can be abble to see a bigger picture and, eventually, find a way to approach to your conflict in a better way.
If you want to know what music do I like the best, I do prefer Rock & Indie, but lately I've been interested in the evolution of jazz and I've found it really cool.

Movies
Most of the time I prefer watching films I feel relatable to, or that can teach me something. So that could mean I enjoy watchin almost any movie in the world. I really think that there's a movie for each situation, or state of mind. For example if you're hangover, there's no way you're watching e.g. Melancholia by Lars Von Trier, you better watch something like a rocky or anny otter movie mor suitable for your brain at that moment.

Books
I've always love books, and I have this memory of myself going to the library with my parents every weekend and picking up some books that I red super fast so they had to take me again to the library because I just loved being there. During my time in college I didn't have much time to do some reading for hobby. I mean, I did red a lot, and I did enjoy all of the books and all the theories I learnt, but I left aside my time to read more literature. That's why my goal for this year is to read a hundred books, so any suggestions to add to my list are welcome

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think that living is in itself an amazing thing, so anything (ish) you do while you're alive is amazing as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I Could teach you mainly everything about Colombia, and to show the face that is not usually showned by the news. I would be excited to help you to plan a trip to my country for you to learn the most important things about this beautifull place.
I can also help with your spanish if you need to.
I might not be the best dancer in the world, but I do enjoy dancing, so maybe we can try some traditional dances from Colombia.
