From the farm to the world
ABOUT ME
I was industrial engineer, I am a traveler now. Very good talker, story maker, I like doing stand up and playing guitar(in spanish of course). I love cooking and I have really serious problems with sweet things (I just like them too much). In the last year I became a passionate for hiking , camping and diving. I like many sports but my fauvorites are futbol and rugby.
I grew up in a very small town and I was always studying the atlas, thinking about all the places to discover on the world. In 2012 I quit my job and I decided to see the places instead of thinking about them. It was the best decision in my life.
I have a hobby (quite strange), bottle caps collector. Due to this you can see me looking down all the time, trying to find my new treasure.
The thing that I most enjoy in my life it's baking pizza for family and friends, maybe you can test how my pizza is =).
PHILOSOPHY
Life is a wonderful journey

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies, please dont laugh about it, but my favourite is Notting Hill. I like Tim Burton's movies, the Big Fish is the best and I have to include The Godfather 1 and 2 in my list.
Books. One hundred years of solitude is in the top of my list but I like a little bit of everithing in books.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
A 6 days adventure trip in Landsborough River(New Zealand), that included 3 days trekking in the mountains and 3 days rafting. The first day a big flood surprised our group, so we had to walk 6 hours with the water at the level of our knees (the temperature was around 5/10 C) and we had to cross many glacial rivers. At the end of the day I realised that I had several foot blisters :s. I never gonna forget the second day, 14 hours walking in the mountains. I almost died when I skidded 10m down a cliff and we met an snowstorm in the top of the mountains (It was the first time that I saw snow in my life, wasnt the best first time, I have never been so cold and exhausted before). An helicopter went for us in the third day because most of the people of the group wasnt in conditions to walk 6 hours more.
The last three day we did the rafting. Because the big flood, the river had 3 times more water than average, this made the trip down the river a dangerous and amazing experience.
I am going to remember that 6 days forever. It was the adventure of my life.
