CURRENT MISSION

Conocerme a mi mismo por medio de las otras personas y lugares

ABOUT ME

He vivido en varios lugares en los Estados Unidos y el mundo, pero he estado entrapado en Michigan por cuatro anios!

Desde graduarme de la universidad, fund'e una chiquita empresa que lo puedo dirigir por internet. Eso me da la oportunidad de viajar pero todavia con ojo al dinero.

Lleg'e en Colombia casi sin planes, y espero tener muchas buenas experiencias inesperadas. Me gustaria conocer a personas que son buenas e interesantes.

Me puedo apasionar mucho si encuentra una nueva idea que me gusta.

Me gusta esforzarme fisicament tan como mentalmente; casi siempre llevo conmigo un cuarderno en lo cual escribo mis pensamientos y ideas.

------------------------
I have lived in quite a few places in the world and have been stuck in the U.S.A. for four years(help!)!

Ever since graduating from college in 2008 I have been working on business projects that should allow me to travel the world on a shoestring. I leave for Colombia on August 17th and I plan on 'winging it', with very few concrete plans. I can't wait see where this journey will take me!

I am looking to discover the unexpected and meet kindred spirits as well as just plain interesting people along the way!

-----
I can get very passionate about new ideas, and I am the type that loves to dive in and explore things experientially and intellectually.

I love to stay physically active: for me there is nothing that beats an interesting life + the glow of exercise.

PHILOSOPHY

Mientras vuelva mas viejo, la vida vuelve a ser mas y mas interesante, profundo, divertido. De vez en cuando me gusta cambiar la manera de vivir, y ver como se siente la diferencia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On the road from Santa Cruz, Bolivia to the country's capitol, our bus's home mix of cumbia abruptly cut off. As we were ushered outside, in confusion and suddenly enveloped by the cacophonous cries of jungle birds and the sounds of rushing water, we couldn't help but realize that the bridge we needed to cross the thundering rapids had been destroyed by falling rocks. The old people at the rocky river banks below in aluminum boats with paddles were not there for extreme sports--they were to be our only hope in navigating the treacherous, swollen river, and they expected unanticipated payment -- payment that I did not have (note to self: there are no ATMs in the desert shack that straddles the near-deserted border between Paraguay and Bolivia,. There are only officials whose pay is subsidized by large bribes from the once-daily bus that tends to carry phone smugglers). At that moment, I regretted my commitment to help the nice old lady with the gold tooth to bring her seven huge canvas bags from our lowland city of departure to the highest capitol city in the world. My nonchalant agreement to help her was about to be put to the test, and the unspoken, rhetorically posed question: "how hard can it be?", answered in the most literal of fashions...

Teach, Learn, Share

Me gustaria hablar de nuevas ideas emprendedoras; tal vez puedo ayudarte en mejorar una idea que ya existe, o crear una idea nueva.

Me gusta esforzarme con los ejercicios/deportes. Tal vez los dos podemos enseniarnos algo nuevo!
----------------
I would would be more than happy to to brainstorm about new business ideas; I might be able to help you come up with some new ones or refine one that you already have. I love learning/teaching languages and I love exercising; maybe we could both teach each other something new!
