About Me
ABOUT ME
I am an Oceanographer postgrad student who is visiting Australia in December for work and then taking few days off. I would like to discover a bit of the Aussie culture fitting in as many activities (trecking, climbing, surfing, slack lining etc) on my way as possible, meeting locals and travellers and chilling watching the beautiful landscapes that the island can offer.
I recently discovered that I can cook a delicious potato omelette typical from Spain. Do you want to exchange typical food from your country? I have a good stomach, and well, I will burn it later running.
I run, I do athletics since I was a kid and I love it. I also like other sports too: basketball, soccer, swimming, tennis, triathlon, handball...
The reason I love to travel is maybe because I grew up traveling with my brother and parents first around my country, then Europe, then world.
I love to talk to others, to listen their stories and to be advised by them. I really love old people, they speak so easy, knowing a lot, and being satisfied with their lives. Admiration.
PHILOSOPHY
Everything flows.
The key: No expectations, no disappointments, but let yourself be surprised by things, by others.

Music, Movies, and Books
Street music, the pure naive one.
I love music. It depends on what moment I am in I can listen indie, pop, electronic, salsa, classical, blues, R&B, rock... Spanish music, Latin, American, English, French, Italian...
I would like to read more if I had time, summer, Christmas and Easter are the perfect vacations to do so.
Movies: I like the ones bases on real stories, I like fantasy, action, drama and history genre movies.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Sharing a day with an indigenous tribe that barely had contact with civilization. I still can remember that purity...
