About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission...be happy, S. N. Goenka

ABOUT ME

Dificult to do a neutral description of us, but here we go, Pia and I (Horacio), are a very nice and easygoing couple. Both grew up in Santiago-Chile, and studied on Santiago the capital city, but now we left behind the trafic jam and all the stress involved on big cities, to moved for live at Pichilemu beach. Pichilemu its about 3 hours by bus from santiago, its a country side landscape famous for their perfect waves for surf. She (Pia) is an Industrial Designer, and Im a Civil and Industrial Engineer, after 2 years working together we got married and then we took the most important decision in our lives, leave behind Santiago.
Now our life goes between growing vegetales, do ceramics (Pia is ceramist too), building wooden things, and plans for our new way of living, ....and also to do some plans for a future travel to Asia, last trip before kids haha...
We are responsible and reliable persons, tidy, sensible and polite, in case of doubts just check our profile.

PHILOSOPHY

Think and be positive and things positive will happen in your life.

..all beings be happy, S.N Goenka.
