They are who make each experience different and unforgettable. I remember a 2AM conversation with some friends in Melbourne discussing about people, it was amazing see all of us, with a completely different background, religion or culture finding similitude and differences between people and all of us. Below there is a list with some of the memorable people who I’ve met during my past 6 months.

  • I’m working with the past entrepreneurship organization president of New Zealand.
  • I had couple lunches with a guy who has a twin, he is married with a woman who also has her twin and they both have together two daughters, who are twins. He is co-founder of the second most important paragliding company in the world and he has more than 4000 jumps.
  • I interchanged emails with two writers of books I read.
  • I met two women who had been partners for 12 years and I became friend with two British guys who been together for 22 years, they got married last year.
  • I attended a piano and violin concert and they gave me a CD as a gift.
  • I met a girl from Germany who was completely intolerable, I´m very patience and I just shared with her a dinner however it was too much time… Juan do you remember Niña?
  • I interchanged emails and some ideas with a senior fellow and director of social computing lab from HP in California.
  • I had my first flat mate, he is a guy who stopped his studies to follow his dream and become a sailor.
  • I met a friend who is 23 years, she is a biochemical engineer speaks fluent Spanish, English, French, Italian and Portuguese and she wants to live in Africa.
  • I had couple drinks with an UK diplomatic who ran for the European parliament and he is going to cycle from New Zealand to Japan and from Japan to UK, during the next two years.
  • I was in a bbq with a guy who was married, his wife and his girlfriend (two different persons) were at the same bbq and they both are good friends.
  • I traveled with two friends from Taiwan, one of them has to live in Australia because is what his parents want for him.
  • I missed my family and friends (sometimes a lot)
  • I met a friend who has a daughter, she is 12 years old, and she sells smoothies every weekend at her father’s restaurant to pay her next year dancing classes.
  • I been in contact with most of my people thanks of Internet, skype, etc.
  • A Musulman friend explained me why they let them father’s married them or why is important to respect the Ramallah
  • I learned Colombian thanks of four friends and amazing trips together; they all are changing Colombian prospective in the world.
  • I started new years with very cool people, one of them whom participated in the Olympic winter games in Turin.
  • I met someone who told me he was a spy.
  • I met the writer of whale’s rider and I hope we can set up a cafe during the following weeks.

We concluded our conversation thinking that in each nation, culture or religion there are people with same patrons and what make nations, religions or cultures different is which of the patrons is more predominant.

There are always some who wants to be a writers, those who wish build a family, some who work in a farm, those who want to sing, dance, paint or act, some who born to dedicate to politics or businesses, there are also people who follow them dreams until the end and those who doesn’t, there are bad people, people who make science progress, and a there are a few more, however what matters is those more predominance or those who can lead a change. I hope continue meeting wonderful people forever!
