About Me

I fail describing myself. People also fail and they contradict themselves all the time. I think that you can get some idea about me reading my interests. Mainly I am a curious and kind person.

PHILOSOPHY

Every philosophy crashes against reality sooner than later, that´s the reason why there are so many... so that´s it, bad if one is for too long.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Done: solving math problems through a dream, watching the stars with my father until late when i was five.
I was swimming in the sea near Florianopolis and I suddenly felt a presence behind me so strongly that I did stop and turn around to discover dolphins behind me.
Everlasting love.
Living in the Colombian forest with our own solar energy, food production and water giving away and receiving from kind neighbours and receiving visitors.
