About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Everything you want is on the other side of fear.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Mexico City to some very cool parents. I grew up attending a bilingual school and now I am almost finished studying political science. I'm more interested on urbanism now, though. I've had some opportunity to travel abroad and around my country, and I've loved it. I spent my exchange semester in Guanajuato, and took some trips and went to some hikes and that sparked an interest. Now I want to travel more. I want to live abroad and get to meet more people and get to see more things.

PHILOSOPHY

Let it be.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love every kind of music. Except maybe metal. I love to dance. I tend to like artsy movies, but I also have a chick-flick addiction. I try to read as much as I can. Some of my favorite authors are Milan Kundera, Gabriel García Marquez, David Foster Wallace, Malcolm Gladwell, Julio Cortázar and Paul Auster.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I remember seeing a solar eclipse when I was little and that was amazing. I was in London during the 2005 attacks and that was terrible.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking. I would love to learn more of that. I also enjoy photography and writing. I can help surfers with their Spanish, especially with the slang and curse words. I'm very good with teaching that.
