About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Walk the road less taken.
ABOUT ME
I was born in San josé, Costa Rica. Lived in an amazing country till I was 15 and went to yet another amazing country, Chile. I´m interested in meeting new people, new knowledge, putting things in perspective, detachment from preconceived paradigms.
Live fast, die, yawn. jajajaja.
Get to work on things your passionate about, if something bothers you, you either accept it or change. Bragging is eluding.
I seek for truth even thought I realize it is not absolute and depends on the observer. Empathy is key to wisdom.
Happiness is not the finish point, it is not the road either but the will of walking.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is movement.
