ABOUT ME

I am twin with my bro and have an elder brother. This is a regular day at my house (2008):

When I was little I was a wild, hyper, loving kid and a good source of desperation for my parents for sure :-). I grew up with that kid inside and now I work every day to keep that wild spontaneity and clarity that kids naturally have. I am an Alfa male in many ways, I like knowing what's the plan and take part of it. My strong character melts with a strong capability to keep myself chill, my empathy with others, and the ability to say sorry and mean it.

I am described as funny and witty by my friends. Others say I am cabezon (stubborn). Most of all, I am a person who dares to jump without seeing first, trading the present for the future. Taking risks is the main source for learning, that is how we all learn to walk, ride a bike, and love.

PHILOSOPHY

- Today lasts one day.
- Muestrate como eres y no tendras miedo a enseñar lo que hay dentro de ti.
- Find what it makes you happy and don't let it go.
- Walk through the world, be cultural shocked, learn.

Interests

1. Live (grow, let myself be, there is not more coherence than that of being happy without hurting the others)
2. Create (photography, video, editing): http://gonzalogomezphoto.com
3. Music (lonely toilet guitar player, jam session craver, tablet drums apps, listen to music so loud I can't hear myself singing)
4. Sports (surf, longboarding, snowboarding, football match with friends and beer,..).
5. Nature (fall sleep on the beach-Laredo, feel the cold wind on the top of a mountain-Gorbea, let rain fall into my face extending hands-Vitoria, float in the see while waiting for the next wave-Biarritz, cook into the wild, build something).
