About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn, love, travel, enjoy but never lose sight of doing my part to make this world a better place.

ABOUT ME

Feminist journalist doing my part to end the patriarchy and create a more equal and just world for all of us.

I love traveling and learning from different cultures. Since I finished college I've been living, learning and working in 5 different countries: Spain, Scotland, Switzerland, US and Mexico.

I am now back in Spain, settled in Madrid, a city that I didn't know and that I am really enjoying! Will see what comes next :)

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you feel and always fight for your rights and for the rights of those that cannot fight.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Parachuting on my 22nd birthday and it was a breathtaking experience! UPDATE: I did it again in 2015 in Monterey, California, over the pacific ocean! :)
- Spending a week living with a mayan community in the south of Mexico, where people barely spoke my language.
- Spending a day with elephants in the Thai jungle (no chains, no riding, just hanging out together)
- Swimming with dolphins in Hawai (no organized tour, no snorkeling equipment, just jump on the water at a specific spot at 6am and they were just there -thanks to a tip I got from a backpacker in a hostel-)
- So many awesome thinks I can't recall, and so many great things yet to come!
