CURRENT MISSION

searching a universal solvent (the Elixir of Life)

ABOUT ME

I lived my first 16 years in the (probably) most weird city in the world (El Salvador, Chile). Then I moved and after that moved again. I studied in Santiago of Chile and after 2 years I changed my mind and went to Germany to finish my studies. After 5 years in the same place (Erlangen) my foots are starting to itch..
In 2009 I have to take the difficult decision where to go next. Not easy when a big part of my life is here.

Once someone told me that in my past lives I was always travelling.. I went all the time from a place to another in search of something. This person told me that in this life the search should be over because I'm already there where I always wanted to be. Of course I didn't believe it then but what if it is true? I will probably miss the chance and I will be wandering across the world for the next 2000 years ;-)

Here is my old ridiculous description ;-) :
Sometimes I want to be a student for ever.. Great is the life.. and Green is my favourite colour
Sometimes I want to become an artisan.. Great is espresso with vanilla ice cream.. and Green is the hope
Sometimes I'm just a crazy guy.. Great is to party.. and Green are my eyes

PHILOSOPHY

carpe diem! but at the same time set you as objective to climb the highest mountain

Teach, Learn, Share

We are in a special moment of the history. We can change many things if we want. The world become smaller and exchange experiences accelerates this process. The Idea is that we understand that we are living in one world and not in different countries. The idea is then that our "personal group" become bigger and that is only possible if we interact with another different people and "everyone become a student and a teacher".
