About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am interested in meeting new people from other countries and to help them in their visit to Mexico.

ABOUT ME

I love the Information Technologies, specially the digital communication and web/mobile design & development. I'm a music-beer-coffee-beach lover and I enjoy to sharing them with friends and for meeting new people. I spend my money for traveling, attending gigs and enjoying good food and drinks. Swimming workout now, surfer beginner and rock/metal drummer.

PHILOSOPHY

"Ignorance is the secret of Happiness". I know this frase is kind of weird but I believe when people have not seen what is out of the box, they don't know what they are wasting. And life is about to finding those moments that make you happy.
