About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover where I belong... Jupiter maybe?

ABOUT ME

An ideological person, I have been working in political issues with left movements for some years, later I spend 10 years working with Non Governamental Organizations for development with small farmers and indigenous people in Ecuador.

Now I just make business with CD's. .. and that let me live and travel, and do what I want!

Two marriages and divorces, one son (17) Camilo.

At this time traveling, learning from new places for me, hoping to meet people and share experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

Each day create an infinite number of possibilities and choices about what to do or don't do. Each chance will never appear again, in this way each day is eternal, because nobody can take all the chances that a simple day gives to you to create your day, and your life.
Everyday the fear should be ignored in order to live and feel all as you can. We just have each instant, the last one just gone, and the next it is just a possibility,does not exist. In other words, that what we really have to live is the present, we can't do nothing about past and is not and the future have no arrived yet. Live for today. Carpe Diem !!
