ABOUT ME
Spanish roadtraveler lover.
Ever since I was 13, when I made my first journey alone, I've known that's actually what I love the most, travelling, getting to know different people and their different ways of understanding life.
Learning other languages is now one of my passions, and it keeps surprising me how good it feels to be able to conversate with people from all around the world and exchange our thoughts so easily whether in English, Spanish or French.
I am a med student in Madrid, Spain. Basketball player and traveler in my free time.
Right now I'm doing an Erasmus year in Lyon, France. (trying to improve my French...)
Openminded outgoing person? how could I really describe myself... one word... stellar
I like good coffee, sunshines, jazz and folk music, singing and dancing while cooking lunch, I love watching people enjoying music whether they're playing for others in a jam-session or they're singing with their headphones in the metro...
I am always ready to keep travelling and getting to know new interesting people :)
PHILOSOPHY
Vive y deja vivir (live and let others live)
Mejor sin prisas (better without hurry)
I try to enjoy the moment... live in the present..
