About Me

Searching my life purpose. I love what I heard recently: “When you give without expecting anything in return, that's when life begins to give back”. Usually I’m a volunteer in special causes which try help and at the same time fill more my heart.

I like help others, learn always, think and doing, travel of course ;), nature, cook,, pick mushrooms, bike, swim, dream the future, listen, change. And a few things more.

Actually, I have a mon-fri remote job which allow me some flexibility to help in your visit en Madrid

I have car if you need some transportation but Madrid have an excellent public transportation

I live in a 80sqm flat with light and very calm distance 20min from center center of Madrid by train

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the thing when I learned more was when I did volunteer for Homeless people on Sundays in Madrid, offering them a coffee and a conversation.

I built several business and always learning through the waves

When i am child:

- Be a Delivery Boy. I mean making different family tasks, that was my best work experience ever ;), managing times, budget, learning negotiate skills, …

When i am young:
- 2 Interrails europe travels in my back with my 4 teammates that time. First 2 and half months and second 1 month. So Amazing and incredible!

- Travel and living in Phillipines. It was a wonderful experience.

- I built the 7th world coworking space called Garage30 in 2004 in Madrid.
