About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world, feeding my spirit and my knowledge, and giving back all I have learned to build a better world!

ABOUT ME

I am young guy, mixed with russian and mexican culture who loves life, and thanks each moment of being here. I like dancing, photography, having fun with friends, travel and discover different places. I finf writing as a therapy, a way to reveal my self, what I think and what I feel. I have worked on social and environmental research, as a translator with russian ballet like bolshoi and kirov and most recently on communication, broadcast and journalism. I am very thankful to learn from mexican cultural roots and from all cultures around the world. I like swimming, treking and all kind of adventures!!

PHILOSOPHY

Living in armony with my self and the environment, as much as I can, eliminating my own contradictions to be more consistent. Homeostasis. Keeping balance, inventing and reinventing the world with passion and imagination!

Vivir plenamente, segundo a segundo, en un proceso de significación y resignificación, creando y transformando el devenir, y dando gracias por este maravilloso regalo que es la vida!!
