About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world's different places and cultures, in order to appreciate the beauty of diversity.

ABOUT ME

I am a 31 years old Colombian/Venezuelan engineer.
In my life, I have been able to live and travel to many places. Some of this includes most of Western Europe Countries, South America and Asia Pacific countries. The experiences I have acquire meeting other people have enriched my life a lot, and have made me believe that intercultural exchange is one of the most interesting activities there are.
I am an open minded easy going man, friendly and curious. I am looking forward to meet people from other places and to get to know their culture.
I love going out for a coffee or a drink, listening to music, trekking, and making friends.
My field of working is energy engineering, specially renewables. I work in biogas to energy projects.

PHILOSOPHY

In order to understand, try to get in the other-one's shoes... Is very hard, I don't expect to follow it 100% (is it possible?), but I think is a good guideline.
