About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Survive the live out there!

ABOUT ME

I am open-minded, persistent, independent, friendly and rather listening careful to people.

I like meeting new people, travelling (the thing is that I only can travel on holidays), playing piano (I play since I was a kid), walking on the beach ...

I studied chemical engineering and then a PhD

PHILOSOPHY

Hofstadter law: If you wanna do something, you'll need more time than you planed, even if you took into account Hofstadter law.
You need to be persistent to earn something in life.

Last books: I am Malala (though I didn't finish it), Don Juan Tenorio (a play about love story in the 19th century, romance, duels, ghost, fun .. everything), The perks of being a wall flower (sure you know this one), Ninguna guerra es igual a otra (Spanish war journalist Jon Sistiaga write about the Irak war in 2003 and how an American tank killed his camera man, José Couso, and other Greek jornalist). Other: mainly about cientific stuff, I am also interested about the war in the Middle East.
