Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
1. Becoming a mobile worker. 2. Living in Buenos Aires and Lima at the same time (I think 1 is physically easier to achieve).
ABOUT ME
I'm very curious about things in general: languages, cultures, psocology, history. I like sports very much and hang out with people I like: take a walk, play games, going to restaurants, movies, shopping, museums. When I travel i`m specially open minded about knowing people and places. I like the details. If I`m with you at your hometown you will see me pay attention to things you may consider trivial. In fact if I were you at that moment I would think I`m crazy (well, maybe I don`t need to be you). Some folks even laugh at my pictures, although I always try to take the classical touristic ones.
PHILOSOPHY
I try to accept reality as it is first and then try to adapt and enjoy it. I'm into Zen way of viewing things (we are not egos separated from the world, the inter-dependence of opposites, specially through Alan Watts, an author who has a deep influence on me (Others authors that influenced me are Nietzsche and Spinoza). Another concept that i'm trying to put into practice is 'living the present' also a Zen concept.

Books: My next reading will be Raymond Carver's Cathedral
