About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Squeeze the juice of life

Now, back from living in Japan for a research internship. I am an openmind guy how enjoy knowing different cultures and making new friends. If you are looking for a nice place in Basque country, you should visit Vitoria-Gasteiz. I am an active and ussually busy guy but I will try to help you as much as possible. So so if you wanna come to Vitoria, you are welcome to my home.

ABOUT ME

I´m an outgoing boy that tries to live every second of the life. I enjoy meeting new people, just having a coffe, tea or going for a walk.
But I am also active and love sports (mountain bike, running, swimming, surfing,ski,...). I don´t try to be the best in any, just enjoy all of them. And nothing better that going out with friends for a dinner and if it´s the appropriate day partying or even dancing if necessary... to have a perfect combo.

I really love going to the countryside for trekking or just relax in an improvised picnic and even better if I can enjoy with an amazing sunset from the sea or the top of a mountain.
Although my kitchen is small, I love cooking so I have all the necessary cooking gadgets and some skills to make basque and spanish recipes so let do any dish if you want to.
I am doing a PhD in science but I am open to any topic... just give me the change and I will not stop speaking ;-) but I also like listening to the others and learning about them.
I like any kind of pets (dogs, cats,...)
