Interests

LEARNING.
By far my greatest interest of all. I believe every person has something of value to offer. I'm curious about and open to different ways of seeing the world. Everything is a learning experience.
→ What would you like to learn more about?

TEACHING.
Sharing my knowledge, experience and skills and contribute to other people's lives is a great passion of mine. I do this on a professional level.
→ What knowledge and skills do you like sharing with others?

LANGUAGES.
My goal is to be fluent in five languages before I turn thirty. Three down, two to go. I'm currently learning French and perfecting my Spanish.
→ Do you speak French? I'm looking for French speakers in Barcelona to do some language exchange. Would also love to meet more Spanish speakers.

LISTENING.
For me, the most underrated of communication skills. I love being drawn into somebody else's perspective on life, universe, and everything in between. Listening is probably my favorite way of learning.
→ What's the most profound story you never shared with a stranger?

MUSIC.
I'm quite a geek. I like to connect songs or albums to meaningful experiences, places I've been and people I've met. I also play guitar and ukulele.
→ Do you play any instruments? Looking for people with similar music taste to jam with.

PSYCHOLOGY.
I have a deep desire to constantly explore my individual self and learn more about other people, especially when it comes to mind and behaviour. "Why do I do what I do?" or "Why do people do what they do?" are questions I often ask myself (and others).
→ Why do you do what you do?

COOKING.
I mostly cook vegan and enjoy preparing meals from different countries around the world.
→ Do you like cooking? What's your favourite recipe to cook at home?

MEDITATION.
I do it every day and it's made a world of difference in my life. I'm also into yoga.
→ Always up to meeting people interested in or curious about mindfulness.

EXERCISING REGULARLY.
Lately some running and bodyweight exercises at the beach. Love swimming and cycling.
→ Looking for accountability partners. Let's help each other achieve fitness goals.

NATURE AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES.
Hiking, rock climbing, swimming, cycling, etc.
→ Know of any amazing places near Barcelona? Let's take a break from city life and say hi to Mother Nature.
