About Me

ABOUT ME
EN- I am a social, dynamic, cheerful, outgoing person... I like to share moments with people and discover new places, and new cultures. I enjoy good conversations, especially the deepest ones... I enjoy nature, I love to do hikes, viaferrata and accrobranche. I love animals (although I don't have pets). I really love to dance, especially Colombian salsa! It makes me feel happy. I'm very foody.... I love to eat, in particular, to try new dishes, especially typical local food when travelling, and I have a sweet tooth, a weakness for desserts...

On a professional level, from a social psychology perspective, I am interested in transportation, public policy, and education. I am passionate about sustainable mobility and believe that the bicycle is the most environmentally friendly means of transport; obviously, after walking.

ES- Soy una persona sociable, dinámica, alegre, extrovertida... Me gusta compartir con la gente, descubrir nuevos lugares, nuevas culturas. Disfruto las conversaciones, especialmente cuando son profundas. Disfruto de la naturaleza, me encanta hacer viaferrata y accrobranche. Amo los animales (aunque no tengo mascotas). Amo bailar, especialment salsa colombiana! Comer, me encanta probar platos nuevos, especialmente comida tipica cuando viajo.

A nivel profesional desde la psicología social me intereso en temas de transporte, bicicleta, politicas publicas y educación. Me apasiona la movilidad sostenible y creo que la bicicleta es el medio de transporte más respetuoso con el medio ambiente (obvio, después de la marcha a pie).
