About Luca

MC position Vice President External Relations

Date and place of birth June 17th 1982, Geneva

Nationality (origins) Swiss, Peruvian (with palestinian and argentinian blood)

Languages French, spanish, english, some german and some rudiments of italian. I wish I could be fluent in german! Thanks to Anna and Simone I've already improved it ;-) Final goal: explaining the benefits for a company to work with graduates who went through the "AIESEC Erfahrung". I'm on my way...

I ran for MC because I simply couldn't see myself quitting AIESEC after my EB term! And I was certain to find everything I was looking for: a very challenging job, lots of reponsibilities, an international and young environment, independency, many travels in and outside Switzerland. Investing one year of my life at this point of time in such an opportunity seemed to me to be totally worth it. And it is.

Ideal internship destination Somewhere in Latin America

Childhood ambition Professional fencer

Current ambition I feel that I am at a crossroad of my life, that everything can change within one year. And that's very exciting. However, I have in mind something probably a bit more meaningful and realistic than my childhood ambition although it can totally change in one year: working for the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs. It would nourish my passion for international relations, deepen my understanding of other countries and cultures, travel and meet diverse and interesting people. See you in one year for a check.

I love summer, dancing, krumping, sports, watching Federer play and win, series (24, Prison Break, Heroes), Peru, Stefano's view on R&R, and of course: kiffing la life

Favorite books Belle du Seigneur (A.Cohen), Solal (A.Cohen), La Chute (A.Camus), Un Amour de Swann (M.Proust), 1984 (G.Orwell), Farenheit 451 (R.Bradbury), Making Globalization Work (J.Stiglitz)

Favorite movies American Beauty, Brokeback Mountain, Dancing with the Wolves, Cyrano de Bergerac, Dodgeball, Along Came Polly, The Rock, Kill Bill 1, Matrix 1, Spiderman 1, Bowling For Columbine, Thirteen Days, JFK, Rize
