About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travell the World, meet people, and live a peaceful and content life .

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Colombia. However, I lived a good portion of my life in USA. About 8 year ago I quitted my "successful job" and started my traveling and reinventing journey.

Leaving behind the stability of my job was a scary decision but I will never change that stability for the rollercoaster of adventures, the multiple learning experiences, and smiley faces on my traveling path.

I love to meet new people and explore new places. I have a passion for learning about other cultures.
The more I use CS the more I learn about the invaluable meaning of cultural exchange and how money can be irrelevant when it comes to meeting great people.

PHILOSOPHY

The most important thing is to enjoy the journey while being happy and enabling happiness on others.
