CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying everything Spain has to offer

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty laid-back but active person who thrives on change and loves to explore and try new things. I'm interested in learning about people, languages, cultures and traditions. Basically anything authentic and different fascinates me.

I love to travel, but I hate being a tourist.

PHILOSOPHY

See the world with an open heart and mind, stay curious, maintain a good sense of humor, appreciate what you have, respect the planet, tell the truth, and take risks.
