The Thinker -Laughing

NAME
Mauricio Prieto

NICK NAME
Mao (because 90 % of the people at Altitude can’t pronounce my name).

JOB
IT and Operations director (oh yeah, and sometimes I fiddle with the scanner…BEEP).

FAVOURITE SPOT IN MONTREAL
Jean-Drapeau park because I can sit by the river and look at the city. If I need to think and sort things out, that’s where I go.

Down by the river, contemplating

FAVOURITE THING FROM ALTITUDE-SPORTS.COM
My Arc’teryx Atom LT hoody, my god I love it! Oh, and my Deception North Face Jacket.

Betray a friend!

Try to learn something new.

In Montreal, on Mount Royal. In Colombia, at El Mirador de la Calera.

Spooning!

THE BEST PLACE TO MAKE LOVE OUTDOORS
If it’s a beautiful spot, and both people want to, and there isn’t anyone around…. Go for it! 

THE BEST SHOW YOU’VE SEEN
Celia Cruz’s last concert at El Campin stadium in Bogota.

YOUR FAVOURITE SONG TO MAKE LOVE TO
It’s like dancing, no matter what kind of music’s playing, if you’re both into it, you’ll want to share the song together.

YOUR MASCULINE BEAUTY IDOL
I don’t have one…

THE NICEST THING SOMEONE’S SAID TO YOU
“Adoro perderme en tu mirada.”

My family.

YOUR WEAKNESS
Sometimes, I’m too proud.

THE BEST ADVICE SOMEONE GAVE YOU
Do everything you do in life with love and passion.

HOW YOU LET GO
I put on my headphones, I turn on my music, and I walk; doesn’t matter where, but I walk.

YOUR IDEAL DAY
Work hard, head to a terrace with friends, and go dancing all night long.

SOMETHING YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT
I’d say my parents and my brother – I love ‘em a lot.

YOUR BEST MOMENT OF 2010
Getting my Canadian citizenship! I’ve been waiting for it for 8 years.

YOUR NEXT DESTINATION
First I have to fill out the pages in my blue passport because using my red one is not really an option, lol! Then to New York, Paris, Santorini… The sky (and my budget) are the limit!
