AIESEC in Belgium wins the UBS award!!!

It was a dream when I decided to apply for a second term as MC member of AIESEC in Belgium. I remember I mention it on my speach and it was my dream to win that cup.

And yesterday it became a reality AIESEC in Belgium won the UBS Excelence Award for WENA.
I am so happy!

AIESEC in Belgium rocks!
To bad that I was not there to receive the award....
Any way I know that next time we all get together we will celebrate :)

Life after AIESEC

Well almost one month ago I finish my job in the MC of AIESEC in Belgium.

And it is time now to start thinking on what to do next, well I already know what I want to do but it is time to start doing something...
Well almost 1 month ago I applied for an internship at ABN AMRO in Brussels and I have been shortlisted to be in the interview process :)
I will have my interview on Thursday, so we will see what will happen...

Also I am trying to keep myself busy, I am also looking for other job opportunities and also I am started to work in the venture we created at RealAcad.

Another thing happening in my life now is that I am enjoying my holidays here in Mexico, now that I have TV and lots of food I am taking advantage of it.

Well that is what is happening in my life, I will let you know what happen on the interview on one of my next posts.

CISV memories


Well almost 10 years ago I went to a summer camp in Brazil organized by an organization called CISV (Children International Summer Villages). I had an amazing time there and I met a lot of people from different parts of the world. I guess that that camp helped me be the person that I am today, I really discovered that the world is not such a big place and I also discovered that I really love to learn from other cultures.

Today I was searching in my room for old stuff and I found a box with all my memories and pictures from the camp, it is great to remember those kind of things.
Also since facebook is very international and popular I started searching for the people that attended the camp there and I found 3 people :) , I guess it will be nice to reconnect with them after 10 years.

You can check more information of CISV HERE

Bonds 756

The last week I was very busy and I had no time to blog about this great event in baseball history.

Barry Bonds broke the record of more home runs in Baseball.
I have seen Barry Bonds play 3 times and in two of them he made a home run :)

Me in the baseball stadium in San Francisco, unfortunately Barry Bonds did not hit a homerun during this game.

Here is a very cool video that shows the moment Barry Bonds broke the record

New blog template

After almost 2 years using the same template I decided to change the template of my blog, in a way I will be starting a new stage of my life and maybe having a new blog template is a good way to start.

RealAcad recap


Well it has been already 3 days since RealAcad finished and I still have very strange feeling.
I learned a lot during the camp, but now I am trying to think how to implement what I learned in my life...

The camp was amazing and the people there really left an impact in me, I really hope to see them again soon. All of them are AMAZING individuals.

Tonight I go back to Mexico, I am really looking forward on being back home

Still in San Francisco

Well I have been here for almost 1 week now and until now everything is fine.
Now I am at Stanford in the RealAcad camp. The camp until now has been a very interesting experience, the people here is amazing and I am learning lots of practical things to implement in the Real life.

The camp is very different from any AIESEC conference I have been, maybe there is a small similarity with TtT, but until now it is a great experience.

In San Francisco

I have been in San Francisco for one day now and it is amazing, it is just like I had imagine it...

Also it reminds me a lot of Cape Town

Take care,

Pedro

Road Trip to Denmark

For our last teamdays we decided to rent a car and just drive around Europe, the only thing we knew is that we wanted to go to Denmark.

So we drive for almost 12 hours in order to arrive there... it was an amazing experience just chilling out in the car, eating, talking and drinking.

We ended our teamdays just below the Atomium in Brussels, where we shared our experiences as MC members and our term.

Here are some pictures of the trip
