About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Know the world, their people, their culture, to learn their arts and way of thoughts

ABOUT ME

I was born in Peru, between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean. I connected to nature from my first years. I am curious about the world, about people. Active and willing to learn new tricks and sports that require physical effort and quick reactions. i am a man of the earth and the water.. they are part of my spine; and will give me energy anytime to share it with others.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is full of surprises; even from yourself. You never stop learning, and giving to people if you want to. Learn to live and to give, be open to cultures and to find your path. Don't make too many mistakes because you will live with them and learn from them, but make them. Just get up and keep looking forward. Follow your heart although sometimes it might hurt yourself. Cultivate your friends, give them time and love.
