David
Born in Medellin, Colombia, middle class family, hard working parents. In 2011 I took a flight that changed the course of my life: Beijing, where I was supposed to stay for a year, then it became into a decade.
China hosted the process of becoming an entrepreneur, a better person and my passion for business ideas. Since then, I take part of a couple of start ups, participate in some volunteer programs, at the same time as I develop my corporate career.
Based in Medellin, CO.

Los dos primeros como las bases sólidas para afrontar lo que venga en la forma en que venga. El triatlón lo he comparado con lo anterior. Tres fases compuestas de amor,…

2011
Peking Duck for the first time. It was July 17th, Pekin International Airport welcomes you with that smell that mixes garlic, tea, people and 30 degrees of summer. The picture was beautiful.
2020
A coffee based dish. February 3rd, the journey goes further in corporate when I join a fascinating company. Its ingredients, textures and moments are just to be discovered within an atmosphere that smells my favorite liquid: coffee.
