I often visit museums, concert halls, opera houses and art galleries.

I like sports a lot although now that I think about it, I dont like that canadian sport, you know, the one they seem to be sweeping the ice??? definitelly dont like that one je je je.

I also love running : I go running 3 times a week in-doors or outdoors, depending on the weather(I admire those people who can run in the rain or snow, hasnt got there yet).
I would like to run a half marathon in 2011...lets see

AND hiking: I work long hours so I try visit the madrid sierras at least twice a month. Its great to get out of the city, enjoy nature and not think...

I dont smoke. Although I can spend time with someone that smokes, I am not that sensitive, I cant live with a person who does...take this into account if you are thinking of asking to couchsurf with me...

love languages and meeting people from all over the world. I believe different is good...

as of now I want to learn french and portuguese. I am planning a trip to paris in Sept/Oct...

PHILOSOPHY

Being positive,
Live in the present,
Finding the good in everybody,
Accept people as they are, never judge...
there's no time, have fun!!!
the simplier the better
have a quiet mind...
