About Me

Hi.

I am a postdoctoral researcher in Atomic and Molecular Physics. I've just moved to Valencia. I am eager to explore the city in my free time and meet new people.

I used to have a proper profile, but after moving and living in many places in the last year's, the information shared here became somewhat outdated. I need to find time to write something. In the meantime, if you want to know something about me, just drop me a message.

CURRENT MISSION

Keep smiling and spread the happiness around the globe :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First time I was in Christ the Redeemer, Rio de Janeiro. It was awesomeee I love Rio de Janeiro.

My social internship to Barranquilla, Colombia I lived the time of my life so far. I met amazing people there and I could become a better person after have faced the poverty and receive the love of children. It was definitely something that is priceless and I would like to live again.

First I saw snow in my life: It happened in Waldshut-Tiegen, in the south of Germany and I didn't like it so much because I thought I would lose my fingers hehe

The crossing of Serra de Tramuntana : It was crazy, intense and AWESOME! It was hard as well because it is not easy standing almost five days climbing up and down mountains, tons of rain and sun. I had a great time during this crossing, I got more cultured about mallorca culture and its history thanks to my friends. But I got amazed, really amazed with such beauty that only Mallorca Island has. I love this island and I wished I could never go away from here.

My first time in Belgium. At first, I've been to Gent which is an university city in the Flemish Belgium. That time I had the opportunity of meeting Margot again after almost a month that she and her friend Liza have stayed in my flat in Mallorca.
She borrowed her bike to me and I went sightseeing the city. It may sound silly but for me that was like a dream that finally came true. Since I was a little boy I always dreamt riding a bicycle in Belgium or Nederlands and it finally happened. Thanks a lot Margot :) That was fucking awesome :D
