CURRENT MISSION

promoting diversity and integration

ABOUT ME

I am Venezuelan and grew up in a wonderful city in Southamerican Andes, surrounded by 4000m peaks, great nature and lots of backpackers. I did an exchange year in Germany with AFS and later studied in Caracas and worked with AIESEC, another international organization. I came back to Europe to do one of the most wonderful trips ever, hitchhiking all around Norway until North Cape, and then Finland and Sweden. Some year later I returned to Germany to study some more.
I've been living in London for over three years and I have been doing all the things I love the most.. Working for a nice company, doing theatre, mountaineering and traveling around Europe...
Now, I started my next life-adventure by founding an NGO that supports refugees and other people learn new skills and start a new career and a meaningful change in their lives!!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the impact every person can achieve on the other.. In people that believe that may be they are not changing the world as a whole, but the life of one single person for the better... That we are the lucky ones, that have time to surf internet, surf couches and not worry about what to eat, but 1.5 billions that do worry and that we should we doing something for them...
I believe in the power of diversity.. in cultures, languages, colors, thoughts, ways of living.. On a dynamic world and societies that reinvent themselves and improve for the better..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my unforgettable moments was when I reached North Cape, the most northern region in Europe after an epic trip by train, bus, boat & hitchhiking.. It was awesome and the amount of people that helped me was unforgettable.

My walking trips around the British coast packed with my tent and sleeping bad have been amazing.. How easy it is to disconnect from our every day reality and get into a completely new brainwave while seeing the most amazing scenery.

Teach, Learn, Share

I spent most of my day learning from Startups around Europe.. I also spent a fair amount of time learning about inventions and patents... I also spent time directing and acting for theatre, love movies and try to learn from anything people are excited about. Now I spend a lot of time helping people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As you can imagine, there are sooo many people asking to be hosted in London, so it's nearly impossible to reply to all of the requests. At the moment I'm only able to host if you genuinely don't find any other place to stay, as my shared space is really small. So if you are this situation, please state it clearly, and I'll try to help you for 1-2 days.

China, Finland, Georgia, Norway, Poland, South Korea, Ukraine
