About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet people, visit new countries and learn from other cultures.

ABOUT ME

I love going outside, visit another cities, discover new places of Berlin with my bike, have a coffee and waiting for a big train to travel far away. I love the blues and I try to play a little bit guitar and harmonica (and I also love the tango, the music of my country, but unfortunately I can´t dance it..). I also love to cook for my friends, a glass of red wine Speaking with people of other cultures is incredible and I like it very much to hear some stories and rare and funny words of their mother language.
I study philosophy and history in Berlin. I write articles and stories for several magazines of Uruguay and Argentina and I'm also radio columnist.

PHILOSOPHY

Actually, life is so simple. We can always do everything what we want. It does not matter if you have either no money or time. We just need a desire of the will, then ... Then you're getting what you want.
