About Me

CURRENT MISSION

A la tercera va la vencida

ABOUT ME

I'm a very curious person. I rarely get bored and I always find something to do: When I'm not hanging out with friends or studying, I like to run, go to the gym, play volleyball or football or any other kind of sport.

I also cook and bake a lot and I try new recipes all the time. Plus I love to learn new languages (after brushing up on my spanish for the past 4 months, I plan to improve my other languages and to take up a 7th coming semester. I'm thinking Italian but who knows).

Or I might simply read a book. Or buy one. Or two or five. There'e no such thing as too many books. Ranging from Fantasy to Contemporary, from Historical Fiction to non-fiction. Afterwards I will talk about them/show them off on my BookTube channel.

Overall I'd say I'm naturally interested in the world, chatty and open-minded :)

PHILOSOPHY

Summed up in a few quotes:

"[Nanny's] philosophy of life was to do what seemed like a good idea at the time, and do it as hard as possible."
- Terry Pratchett, Maskerade

"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one." - George R.R. Martin

"There's something that doesn't make sense. Let's go and poke it with a stick." - 11th Doctor

"El amor no se piensa, se siente o no se siente." - Laura Esquivel, Como agua para chocolate
