About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I have been trying to write my top 5 things in life:
1. I'm not sure yet. I think I got it: ambiguity
2. Laughter and friends
3. Memory
4. Desire
4.1. Work (I'm not a workaholic, I just love what I do)
5. Food, wine and dance

Everything means something (I'm a linguist)

Music, Movies, and Books

From traditional Mexican music to Philip Glass. I don't know much about music but I certainly enjoy it as hell. I love going to music halls but my thing are public concerts. The best one: Goran Bregovic, a couple of Bulgarian singers and a traditional mexican band in a tiny square in Mexico City. I almost flew away that night...

Star!; Jungle Book;

Sandor Marai; Orhan Pamuk; George Bataille;

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Picking flowers in Cornwall, England.

Meeting a blue penguin in Great Barrier Island, New Zealand

Travelling with the Brazilian Soccer team and flirting with one of them!

Having dinner with my aunt's friend from childhood that just said Calderon is wrong about the taxes: he is a Nobel Prize on Economics and I made him laugh a lot.

Walking 45 km in 1/2 day with my best friend from college and none else... really there was none else around

Being invited by a internationally famous musician to his gig in Mexico without having met him before.

The day I realized I will never know how I really look
