About Me

I am a crazy and very calm person in one. I love meeting people but I also enjoy my time alone, with my guitar, piano, accordeon (whatever I have around) or a notepad and a pencil because I like writing poems. I need to learn new things and discover new cultures. I am a city person but nature is very important for me as well....chill out, watch the sunset, feel the trees...

My life philosophy:

"La vida es para vivir, la muerte es para dormir."

"Kolik jazyků umíš, tolikrát jsi člověkem."

"Be the change you wish to see in the world."

"Jaký si to uděláš, takový to máš."

"La mente se como una paracaída: no sirve si no es abre."

"Představte si to ticho, kdyby lidé říkali jen to, co vědí..."

"Lo bailado nadie te lo quita."

"The most dangerous phrase in a language is: We've always done it this way."

"If the plan A doesn't work, remember that the alphabet has 26 more letters."

"Un vamos por un café vale más que mil mensajes por whatsapp."

"No dejes que termine el día sin haber crecido un poco, sin haber sonreído y sin haber volado."
