About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Since 2000, I'm travelling around the world to promote cultural and independent travel among Latinamerican people mainly and anybody that reads spanish and/or english

ABOUT ME

From a little corner in the northwest of Spain, where the romans believed the world was ending, I just discovered it was just the beginning, and I wanted to see it all!!

PHILOSOPHY

If there is a wish, there is a path

I have used CS a few times and very happy with the experience

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing the Kilimanjaro, tallest mountain in Africa with 5.950 m. without previous mountain experience and visiting the Antarctica, a dream come true!!
