ABOUT ME
University student willing to conquer the world and travel wherever is necessary to enrich my body and soul with knowledge and culture. I’m a very active person and I’m determined to do anything to achieve my goals. Confirmed film buff and misunderstood indignant, I’m always looking for the cause of everything.
PHILOSOPHY
My life philosophy is based on the Noam Chomsky’s and George Orwell’s thoughts, as well as the Sabato’s and Hessel’s ones. I truly believe that the only escape route to freedom is the cultural and intellectual knowledge of the others. Travelling and understanding other cultures is the most incredible thing that a human being can experience.
Interests
I consider cinema to be my biggest passion, from its beginnings with the Lumière brothers, to the more up-to-date elements of our generation. I enjoy any film, no matter the genre. Besides music and football, another two of my biggest passions, I devour political books, among other things.

Music, Movies, and Books
As a good film buff, I donât have a favourite film. However, I would highlight the Felliniâs, De Sicaâs and Kubrickâs works, among others. Regarding music, I listen a bit of everything, although I have a preference for rock music, with groups as Band of Horses, The Killers, The Black Keys, etc. I only read books about politics and social
change, for example Nineteen Eighty-Four, Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media or Cómo nos venden la moto. Both writers from the past and writers from the present are found in my literary preferences.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One of the most incredible things that I have witnessed is the Baltic Sea. The sea was completely frozen and the ship in which I was, broke the ice sheets as we were sailing. Another of the memories engraved in my mind is the spectacular landscape of the mountains in Montreux, Switzerland. The contrast between the snow and the vegetation left me speechless.
