About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Know myself better, meet people, maybe you

ABOUT ME

You will not believe I learnt English in all of 3 years. From Barcelona I came to Auckland, NZ as an exchange student speaking no English. Through my exposure of NZ culture and meeting some amazing people, I was able to improve my English quickly.
Today, I am fluent in English though when I talk, write or think fast I still make some mistakes - but it is only through excitement!

I believe it was travelling that improved my English rather than staying in Spain trying to learn English. This is why I love to travel, it is an opportunity to throw yourself in the deep end and see what you're capable of. Almost 100% of the time, you will meet awesome people, see beautiful places and learn amazing things - what better way to live life?!

I like many things and I am a person of broad interests and I find restricting myself to boxes of information useless. To know me, you must meet me and spend your time with me. Same with travelling. For instance, to know Paris, you must walk the streets as a Frenchman, not read about it. I am a risk taker and I find this concept challenging and how you say intriguing!

Host me and you may make a life long friend.

PHILOSOPHY

If you always do what you've always done then you'll always get what you've always got.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have kayaked through the Mediterranean sea over a couple months, stopping in the necessary ports. This was an honour but also one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. I recommend all to do it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook Spanish food well! I have been living abroad away from my family for a long time, so cooking is something I have learnt over time.

I am a sports fanatic! I run, I bike, I trek. The mountain is what I love. You can do anything there and be anyone you want. I am trying to improve my ski skills at the moment.
