Music, Movies, and Books

My tastes in music are quite wide and depend on the mood, but I usually enjoy rock and alternative genres. I normally listen to calm and to easy to listen genres when dealing with my translations.
I love movies, especially those good ones from the 80’s and the 90’s. My tops could be Amelie, The Thin Red Line and Interstellar, but I treasure many other lesser known movies, like Spring, Summer, Autumn and Spring, Coherence, I Origins and such trascendental kind of movies. But hey, also love Up, The Lion King and The Goonies!
I feel TV series are getting better than movies at cinemas, and I consider Black Mirror as one of the best shows ever. I always worshipped The Simpsons and never stop enjoying Friends.
Once I start them, I normally read books until the end, so I read tons of bad books. Still, I learned a lot from them. My favourites are The Catcher in the Rye and The Cloud Atlas.
And I love videogames too! Some of the best stories were told in a videogame: Grim Fandango, Read Dead Redemption, Assassin’s Creed... even Wario Land or Pokémon for Game Boy!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A music band giving a concert to some cows (yes, cows) in the middle of nowhere in Ireland. Midnight sunset over a lake (don't remember which one) in Norway. Crossing a main road in Varanasi, India. That’s a real achievement!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I always love to share my own point of view about life and new paradigms continuously being challenged. See myself as an educated guy with lots of fun facts to be told!
