About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Collect as many experiences as possible and become a better person with each day.

ABOUT ME

How can I describe myself when I'm constantly changing?

Generally, I like to think a lot and talk a lot (in any of the 6 languages I try to speak) :) I love having fun, feeling free, exploring... This life is for living, right? I'd love to go out with you, explore, drink, cook, joke, talk, try new stuff... I don't like assumptions and am always ready to question them. I love challenging and being challenged.

I went to an elite American liberal arts college (Williams College, MA) and graduated at the top of my class. But while most of my classmates went on to grad school in something serious like medicine, law or public policy, work in investment banking, consulting, are doing the Peace Corpse or something else grand sounding or money making, I have been trying to find myself while making an adventure out of my life.

PHILOSOPHY

Live to the max before it's become too late, never leave anything you really want to try for later. And... here I am, in Chile :) Who wants to join me for a journey across South America?
