PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is not the goal but the way. You must not live bad now, to live well later. Learn to live deeply every day, do not waste time, do not complicate, smile, enjoy ...And the most important, happiness must be shared with others! I think that the key of coexistence in a society is to respect the differences and love others exactly as they are.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really like disney movies lol (I have a little girl inside of me). I like historical, horror and action movies. On the other hand, there are many documentaries that catch my attention. I read a lot, especially books on history, philosophy, politics and cultures around the world. But I also like the novels of drama and adventure books. Music! I like all kinds of music, but I believe that music has its place and time. It is not the same music that you listen when you read or you are in your room, and the music that you listen and enjoy in a party.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Travel by helicopter.
- Camping on a lost island.
- Travel around Europe like a "backpacking".

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my culture, my customs and traditions. I have knowledge in the areas of international politics, diplomacy, political science, international cooperation, humanitarian aid, human rights, sustainable development projects. Generally, cross-cutting topics in the world of International Relations. I can teach Spanish that is my native language. And I want to learn other languages such as Portuguese, Italian, Arabic...I also like to learn about other cultures.
