SE3 - E6 - Pablo - Planting a seed and nurturing it

It has been a long break this winter. Longer than intended. I had a good excuse though. I led my very own pop-up coliving for 2,5 months in the British countryside with my partner, at www.selgars.org It was unexpected and challenging. But it was also amazing. Now that things have calmed down a bit, I am back behind the mic with more testimonials from people like Pablo, who believe in the power of Community. Here is more about Pablo, co-founder of Vivarium Coliving, in his own words: Since very young I have been a searcher and soon I realized that my quest: facilitating change (whether individual or societal), wasn't possible without strong and committed communities. At 21 years old I dropped my engineering studies (where I was being pretty successful) to embark on a journey that changed my life: traveling through Latin America with one sole purpose, to find communities, learn from and with them and create projects together that left a positive mark in the places I visited. When I came back to Valencia to continue my studies, I realized through conversations with people of my generation, that a lot of them could be benefited from this kind of experience, so after I finished college The Nomad Academy was born and I started organizing international learning expeditions and traveling with small groups of diversely talented individuals to different places in the world and creating small projects together. However, I was young and inexperienced and I became more and more aware that I needed to gain more experience and surround myself with people that knew more than I did. It was for this last reason that I decided to undertake a change, put the entrepreneurial path on stand-by, and work for and with other more established projects. Since then, I have worked for various companies, designing, managing, and collaborating on various projects in corporate and entrepreneurial environments, always with a clear vocation towards real and tangible transformation, sustained on continuous learning, community, and innovation. Last summer, after spending 6 months in a coliving community in the mountains I decided it was the right time to go back to the entrepreneurial path and I founded Vivarium, an experimental coliving space where I live now.
