About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

After travelling the world and living in many countries I decided to settle down in the mountains of Asturias in northern Spain. I am planning to move somewhere closer to the civilization soon because the last 9 years have been a huge lesson for me, time of personal growth but also loneliness. Enough of hermit lifestyle!
