About Me

Soy antropólogo y trabajo en documentales. Me gusta la música, toco un poco la guitarra y en pandemia aprendí a tocar la trompeta. Trato de moverme en bicicleta a todos lados.

ABOUT ME

I'm an anthropologist. I love music, to read and ride my bike. I'm always trying to learn new things and make the most of my time. I enjoy to exchange ideas and jokes with other people; as well as a good meal, party, conversation or laugh. Also, I like to dance, play trumpet and guitar.

PHILOSOPHY

"The hell of living people is not something to come; if there is one, it is here already, it’s the hell we live in every day, which we form staying together. There are two ways not to suffer from it. The first comes easy to many: to accept hell and become part of it, to the point you don’t see it anymore. The second is risky and requires continuous attention and learning: to look for and recognize who and what, in the middle of hell, is not hell, and to make it last, and give it space."

From Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino (1972)

"Si quieres alivio para esa inquietud,
un curso intensivo de decrepitud.
Pero si te urge aumentarte la edad,
un curso que reste tu voluntad."

Jaime López, Un Curso Intensivo.
