About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Well is difficult to say just one mission, I think that the most important it´s to life and discover new things. So far I´m learning as much as I can from the different experiences and countries I have lived

ABOUT ME

Probably telling everything about one person is impossible in few lines so I better summarized about myself and I can tell that I have lived in 3 different countries, that 10 years ago I had travel very few out of my islands but now I have gone in almost every country in Europe.

I like to help people and for this I have worked as a volunteer for a long time in social organizations and also with Erasmus people. I like reading and writing. I like sports and traveling, meeting new people and learning new languages and cultures.

I guess that there a lot of things left but I like more to listen than to talk and if someone wants to know more just has to ask.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy of life has changed a little during the years thanks to the trips and the different people I have met. I beleive in karma so if you do good things, good things will happen. I try to be positive and to put and smile although sometimes I plan too much the things.

I beleive in social justice and in a more equal world and also that one of the problems is that we are using persons and loving things and not the oposite.

I have not defined religion and I believe in that every person can teach and learn.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I have liked Matrix quite a lot, but I like different kinds of movies like "Closer", some Spanish movies, some classical movies like some of Billie Wilder,

Music: Depends on the day, from classical music and opera to more rock music. Normally I like more the songs with good lyrics than the melody. I also like latino american music for dancing

Books: There are many books I like but if I should choose just one I guess the neverending story is the one that I have liked more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen amazing land scapes but I guess the vision of the frozen sea here in Latvia is one of the most beautiful.

For things I have done, working with social excluded people in a NGO during 3 years and see how the overpass difficulties has really made my life different.

Teach, Learn, Share

For teaching I can teach Spanish and Italian, something about Economy an and European Studies also about volunteering.

For learning I don´t know, you don´t think seriously in a topic if you don´t know it before
