I am originally from Madrid and lived there for 20 years until I decided to throw myself out of my comfort zone, explore what the world has to offer and more importantly to find myself. I then decided to move to Shanghai where I started my International Business Management degree while studying Chinese for two years. I travelled around Asia as much as I could and I loved it...(Highly recommended). After my chapter in Asia, I decided to go back to Europe, to Manchester in the UK, where I finalised my studies, met my partner in crime and worked as part time Climbing instructor. Then, after two years, moved to London seeking a job as PM consultant. Being here for a year now and (even though I miss the big mountains) I do love this city, it is a great home-base to come back from all the travelling and adventures.

I consider myself an active and energetic person. I really enjoy constant challenges, always eager to learn and improve; wanting to beat yesterday's self.

Trying to enjoy life, Life is too short to waste it on things that don't make us happy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cross-country. Hike up a snowy/icy mountain carrying my snowboard on the back, reach the top (after quite a long time climbing), gear up and descent from the summit. This keeps me closer with mother nature, makes me zone out and enjoy the simple things in life.

Hitchhiking my way around Norway and wild camping along for two weeks.

Sleeping in a CamperVan in Iceland with an average weather of -13 degrees, chasing up the Northern Lights like ghost-busters. Ended up the trip swimming in the Blue Lagoon :)

Scuba Diving....in the clear waters of Indonesia, I dived with sharks, turtles etc, such an incredible experience.

Oops, it only says one thing...I could not choose!
