I am a laid back person with an insatiable curiosity towards different cultures. I am passionate about exploring new cities (and planning issues), learning about the histories of places and going on hikes in odd landscapes. I really enjoy deep comparative conservations about international politics and societies all over the world. I am a massive cinephile, pretty good dancer and ex-alternative music journo.

Next year, I am moving to US for 'at least' a couple of years and 'more likely' for good. So this summer, I will be travelling over the old continent before embarking on a new adventure on the Americas.

My ultimate aim these days is to finding a way to move to somewhere in Latin America.
