CURRENT MISSION

Always looking further.

ABOUT ME

From time to time all and each of us has to step back and look at what we have become, to see if our current life fits in what we were expecting . Sometimes we do it by our own will, some others we are forced to do so. The cycles we opened have to be closed sooner or later, and this is my time for doing so.

Hello there, so you decided to read a bit about me, thanks for taking the time for doing so. I currently live in Mexico City, I moved here at the age of 18 for college. I am profesional in International Relations, meaning that I might be asking many question if we get to meet, and I will also be anxious for hearing your point of view on things, as politics, social, cultural affairs and so on. I was living in the Czech Republic for a couple of years as part of my studies, how is that I learnt Portuguese in the Czech Republic instead of Czech is a subject to talk with a cup of coffee and a considerable amount of time.

In a day-to-day basis I'm a senior logistics coordinator for a medical devices company (nothing further of what I was expecting during my career) nevertheless I love what I do and I couldn’t be more pleased with my position.

About my hobbies, I read a lot, novels mostly from all kind of authors, classic, science fiction, thriller. I love taking long walks, find pleasant places, to have conversations with local people about they own perspective on reality, hobbies and dreams. The most amazing thing for me it’s to get to understand local life from someone else perspective. I have tried to learn how to play the piano, but I haven't achieved it yet, all advice on this matter are more than welcome.

PHILOSOPHY

"There are no strangers here, just friends we haven't meet yet"
Wherever there is something new to learn, I am interested to be.
