About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn bodily processes in terms of nutrition, diet, exercise and metabolism.
Massage and physiotherapy.

ABOUT ME

Love hiphop, walking without shoes and slang.

I travelled making bubbles on the street, juggling, sleeping out doors when i can.

But now working at a speakeasy themed cocktail bar in Barcelona!

Learning to juggle, handstands and calisthetics.

I love learning new things, good words, good books, good music.

I got my own pants, I ain't trying to get into yours.
Pro feminist, anti chauvinist, freedom for all.

PHILOSOPHY

It's never that difficult. The aim is to always move forward, action begets action.
