About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding my mission

ABOUT ME

It's really hard to sum myself in a little box like this... It's terrifying and a bit artificial. Although I love writing, I need to talk to a real person, and I prefer to let my personality shine, if I dare say so, rather than just speaking about myself, but I'll try.
I'm a subtitler for television and want to take over the world, at least a little bit ;)
I love traveling and meeting locals, it helps you so much to get a "feel" of the place you're being in. That's why I registered :)

PHILOSOPHY

To me, my experience of living is... learning how to be, how to exist. How to own who you are. Live the present moment. Because you cannot truly meet anyone or learn from anything if you don't fully invest that body, that personality and that sense of self that with all its strengths, its weaknesses and its struggles. That's my life and my journey.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Architecture: Paris. London. Madrid. Buenos Aires.
Food: Spain. Jamon ibérico is the shit. I love a English Sunday roast. And I love bread. I am obsessed with tea. Mostly English breakfast tea. The only kind.
