CURRENT MISSION

Descubrir este continente misterioso, vasto y dinámico

ABOUT ME

Creative, liberal, but above all curious, I am a person who is always on the lookout for meeting new people, having new experiences and seeing new places. Instead of seeing sites and shooting photos, I see traveling as an opportunity to get in-depth with a different culture, without prejudices and fixed opinions. During my studies, I've lived in Valencia (Spain) for a term, and in Brasília (Brazil) for an internship at the Dutch embassy. These experiences definitely made me long for more travelling; hence I am now traveling through Latin America!

PHILOSOPHY

Fortune favors the bold (or alternatively, put any other cliché in here until I've had time to update my profile...)

Interests

Politics, scuba diving, surfing, snowboarding, philosophy, going out/drinking beer, travelling, history, society, life in general and about everything falling under that latter category except the Backstreet Boys.
