ABOUT ME

I like spending my days doing absolutelly nothing besides going from here to there, reading a book, watching a movie, having a cofee, having a tea, having a beer, having a good time. I'm beach mad. I'll leave everything for a cofee or beer in front of the sea and a good conversation (and if everything becomes perfect a octopuss salad). In the past I did bodyboard. Now I'm giving it a go on surfing. At night I like to have a drink with friends and dance (although it has been a while since i last ended up at a disco... age is giving way in my life I believe). To dance you'll win me over with some electro, to hang out I'm more broadminded. Which brings me to the point where I say that I simply can't imagine my life without music.
I love getting lost in a new city (actually I also do that in my own city. I usually say that I sold my GPS chip on e-bay).
I love meeting interesting people.

PHILOSOPHY

1. live and let live

2. We all have prejudice. It's what human beeings do when they don't know something but have only heard about it. Just try to know which ones are yours and learn if they have any fundaments in first hand. Avoid always to take action in the basis of these.
