It's been a year since I arrived to Paris to do my PhD in Astrophysics. I live in an apartment with a small garden and a lab puppy -soooo cute :) -in the north of Paris.

Originally from the Basque Country in the North of Spain, I lived for a year in the UK to pursue my Master's degree, and I spend my working time between research and teaching at the UPMC university.

Interests

I am quite active, very keen on sports and absolutely LOVE practicing yoga, which helped me out in a tough moment a couple of years ago, and has showed me a new way of facing life. I also do climbing and love to go out to the countryside for the weekends and get a breath from busy Paris :)

Other hobbies and interests: cinema, music, culture, nature, TRAVELLING (when I can get some time from work...), cooking.

Teach, Learn, Share

A meaningful life is not being rich, being popular, being highly educated or being perfect. It is about being real, being humble, being able to share ourselves and touch the lives of others. It is only then that we could have a full, happy and contented life - Patricia Shibambu

What I Can Share with Hosts

An open mind so willing to meet people from other places all over the world which will help me grow as a better person :)
