About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living and working in Muscat after travelling for some time during my sabbatical period backpacking in Asia & Central America.

ABOUT ME

I try to enjoy life and what it offers as much as I can. Really like to observe what the world shows around to the last detail and also love being on the move to open new doors of the world and feelings. I consider myself open-minded and a good listener. I love social life and going out, although I'm not longer the party animal I used to be. I'd prefer some beers and a good conversation than going to a disco.
I love intense experiences and adventurous sports, always looking for intense and adrenalinic experiences. Also love nature above and below sea level and all outdoor activities. Very good eater who likes cooking and enjoys the little pleasures of food.

PHILOSOPHY

I aim to get a good balance combining the big things and values that drive my life and the small aspects that make my every day's life happy with the ones that surround me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love music, many types of music, from R&R to funk, soul, blues, punk, rithm&blues, power pop, airy music. Really varied from The Pixies to Portishead, from Bowie, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd to Air and Belle & Sebastian. Always open to new interesting and original sounds.
In cinema matters, try to escape from the commercial circuit, although some commercial movies are great.
My favourite authors of last years are Paul Auster, Murakami, George Orwell and Garcia Marquez just to make the long list short.

Teach, Learn, Share

Trying to get into photography lately.
