About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Mission Complete! The Middle East's trip finally is over and now I am in my sweet home sweet!

ABOUT ME

Pues la gente que me conoce, sabe que soy un "poquitin" terco y obstinado en lo que me propongo y más en mis sueños. Además que como buen aprendiz del Estoiscismo me educó a ser analítico, nada impulsivo, frío, muy objetivo, no quejón; en pocas palabras soy de las personas que tiene como máxima mental: "El Fin justifica los Medios... Siempre".

PHILOSOPHY

I think and feel this quote from the Spanish poet, Antonio Machado simplifies who I am:

"Y si la Libertad me gusta... para que he de vivir de Esclavo!"

"And if I like the Liberty... so for that I shall live of Slave!"

Interests

Due to my studies and my current job, I'm a lover both the natural beauties as the outdoor activities! I like so much the sunset and a subsequent starry night in a quiet place; I can sit in a summit and can listen the mountain's melancholy through of its winds; I can fall under the spell from song of the waves; I can breathe a new dawn! "Simple" things!

On the other hand, I love the challenge of crumbling the history! I am devouring of maps, etymologies, toponyms, dates (both types), legends and good talks!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen the most beautiful starry sky during my trip from Ladakh to Kashmir at India. Especially I remember the reflection of the stars and moon on glaciers, in absolute calm and sometimes sticking out the shapes of ancient monasteries. It was really beautiful!

Overnight in the ancient city of Palmyria (Syria), without other people, no noise, no cars passing and something that disturbs you. Only oneself with the echoes of history, in that exquisite tranquility and equally quiet fellow with me the moon and stars. It was an enigmatic moment!
