About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make party with Leonard Cohen.

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going person, really open to know about new people, new stories, new experiences and try the not so obvious tastes of live. I love travelling, sharing, chatting and laughing. I'm personally very interested in energy transition and social economy, and I participate in democratic renewable energy promotion and some other social movements.

PHILOSOPHY

There is something in all of us without a name... that is what we are. Let's discover it

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"I've seen the best minds of my generation desperated by madness..." not seriously, hard decision!!

Come and ask, I have several than deserve a good talk. Probably I could say the Annapurna Circuit, but I would be leaving a lot aside.

Teach, Learn, Share

That depends on the moment

Beer, nice talks and a good hiking if possible :) But I can also improvise something out of these lines ;)
