About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be a flowing river and not stagnate water.

ABOUT ME

My mouth goes quicker than my brain getting me in odd situations often, so I prefer keeping quite most times, but others say I'm quite a chatterbox.
I'm fascinated with Japan, starting to be curious about Korea (North and South), and I've spent most of my teenage life playing rol, reading science-fiction, manga and spending brilliant times with my friends.
Didn't have TV, nor computer or any electronic gadget at home 'till I was 16 and I've survived ^-^.
Was born in Menorca (lovely island), but spent most of my summers in England or family trips were organized. So I love Spain (my father's side) and England (my mother's side)...they're both my home.

I'm now in Burgos studying "History and Heritage", living a big adventure at uni, realizing how big the world is. There's so many people I wish to meet.

PHILOSOPHY

"I thought how lovely and how strange a river is. A river is a river, always there, and yet the water flowing through it is never the same water and is never still. It’s always changing and is always on the move. And over time the river itself changes too...Will the I that is me grow and widen and deepen? Or will I stagnate and become an arid riverbed? Will I allow people to dam me up and confine me to wall so that I flow only where they want? Will I allow them to turn me into a canal to use for they own purposes? Or will I make sure I flow freely, coursing my way through the land and ploughing a valley of my own?”
