About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is meeting new people, discover new ways of thinking and conceiving life. I think Life is about exchanging things, experiences. We are born in society, we need each other. It is not about money, but sharing.

ABOUT ME

People who know me would say I´m very friendly, helpful, madure and a really good person. I don´t care much about money, since I don´t consider that´s what it is all about. I really stand for my beliefs and I´m very passionate about the things I like, such as films. I hate fighting, so I don´t tend to argue with people. I consider it is not productive at all and it is a waste of time. I rather talk about things I disagree with. I´m not a very sporty person, although I´m currently practising aereal silks, which is very healthy. I really enjoy cooking for my friends and family, as much as I enjoy eating, jaja. I love Arts, going to museums, expositions, travelling, cinema, theatre, music, dancing, reading, walking and taking photos EVERYWHERE.

PHILOSOPHY

To live and let live. Treat people the way you want to be treated.

Interests

I´m a very creative person that love films, photography, go dancing and Arts. I like spending time with my friends, as they are very important in my life. Also I couldn´t live without music. I think there´s a soundtrack for every moment I spend in life... jaja
I´m also interested in meeting new people and trying to understand them, their ways of thinking and living

Music, Movies, and Books

All kind of movies, from silly comedies to dramas or independent films. My favourite film is Forrest Gump, but I also enjoy films like Transformers or Run Lola Run. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Memento, Amelie, Inception, Take Shelter, The Village, Once...
I like music. Period. I enjoy listening to new music, but I usually listen to rock, Britpop, Indie rock, pop, latin music, salsa and reggaeton (when I go dancing). Some of the artists I like are Coldplay, Snow Patrol, Young the Giant, Radiohead, Michael Bublé, Rihanna, A Fine Frenzy, Madonna, MGMT, One Republic, The Fray, Paolo Nutini, Shakira, The Black Eyed Peas, The Magic Numbers, Two Door Cinema Club, Abel Pintos...
I also enjoy instrumental music and movie soundtracks.
To be honest I love reading books, but I don´t take the time to do that very often now. I like short story tellers like Poe, Quiroga, Cortázar. My favourite book is "Le Petit Prince". I like it because it is so simple, but so clever at the same time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am amazed every time I visit a new place and meet new people. It is incredible to experience different ways of living and to know a completely different culture from mine. Such as when I visited Colombia 2 years ago. They were so nice and warm to me. I didn´t expect that.
Last holidays I spent some days in Mendoza, Argentina. I went to visit my big sister. It is a beautiful city surrounded by mountains. Being there, full of huge mountains and an amazing sky made me feel so little, but at the same time very important and privileged to be part of this world.
