About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, feeling helpful and responsible with the world we share.

ABOUT ME

I am a 30 years old spanish girl. I have travel around for some time. Right now I work at a political ecology research center while studying a PhD in Barcelona. I also enjoy working with youth, growing food, painting stencils... The list is too long to write it here.
Indelible smile. I'm a optimistic person. I like having fun, but also I feel good working hard to get what I want. I have travelled to and living in many places, what opened my mind a lot. I enjoy meeting different people out of my daily circle. On other hand, I love my family and my friends and my region, where I invite you to travel (Asturias in the northwest of Spain).

PHILOSOPHY

“If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” E.B. White

Music, Movies, and Books

Nearly all kinds of music, from classic to indie, soul and flamenco. Also love the 70s and 80s music. Movies, that make me cry or make me laugh. I read mainly novels but the last years also political and environmental essays.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As experience, to be 8 days in a boat in the Niger river, from Mopti to Tombouctou, eating mangoes and bread.
As shocking landscape, the sunrises in the Annapurna region.
Diving in the Caribean Sea in Roatan, Honduras.
Climbing a 6,088 meters peak in Bolivia
