CURRENT MISSION

Adventorous Challenges, rich experiences, and wonderful devolopment for me and the world

ABOUT ME

I adore Life, is addicted to it :-) Reckoned to be active and passionate about most things, known to see possibilities where others see problems, prefering maximizing possibilities rather than minimizing risks, and loving most things in life (apart from pessimistic, apathetic people ;-D).

Regarding the world more of a nomad, rarely living in the same spot more than a year, reaching dynamic interaction between environment and the self. Thus love to travel (duh), seeing new places, meeting new people, experiencing new smells, noices, new atmosphere, new challenges, adventures and culture.

Spain for a long time my second home, the Moorish connection making Morocco and Portugal other ones, Istanbul, Rome, Paris, New York, Calif other favourites, an initial trip to Mali made my interest for west Africa and the phenomena of poverty in the wallet and economy, combined with richness in heart and culture, a big one â

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dancing to african drums in the open in Mali? Climbing in El Chorro, mountaining Mulhacen? Rock climbing the 6 pitches of Sugar Loaf in thirty degrees with backpack in the middle of Rio? Diving and DWS in Croatia, ice climbing the highest waterfall in Sweden, rock climbing in Turkey, Malta and Kalymnos, kayaking and doing capoeira at the paradise beach in bahia, or surfing in Carrapateira? Taking the train by myself to the middle of India, rock climbing furiously red sandstone in Badami? Or nearly becoming religious rock climbing the most amazing place in the world, Wadi Rum in Jordan, followed by gorgious scuba diving in red sea in Egypt? Or bringing a couple of pioneering online corporations to life? Making love nine times at the beach of Costa del Sol or three times in the open in the streets of Jerez? Streetfighting back to back with Harlem pals at racist joints in the middle of New York? Sitting by my grandmothers bed and holding her hand when she died? Taking my scientific degree while doing philosofical excursions in Morocco? Or doing comeback boxing at the age of 32 ;-) I actually don't know, life is full of surprises. And life is absolutely wonderful ;-D

Teach, Learn, Share

To have happiness and success in life, the shortcut is not it, but:

a) The adventorous CHALLENGES in life
b) The rich EXPERIENCES achieved during these challenges
c) The DEVELOPMENT you are able to undergo and/or give to others with the help of these rich experiences

CED is the platform for the recipe. QED the illustration that makes it doable. And the enduring happiness in life is one of its adorable outcomes ;-)
