ABOUT ME

I tend to smile and cultivate a positive attitude. Some people tell me that my energy is clear, and this makes them feel comfortable.

I enjoy meeting new people and recognizing different perspectives. I'm an avid traveler and I have an adventurous and free queer soul.
According to the Keirsey temperament assessment, I am an Artisan (I am excitable, trust my impulses, want to make a splash, seek stimulation, and prize freedom).

I love arts, and music (all kinds. I play oboe and drums). I love trekking, yoga, cooking, and sharing good moments with other humans.

PHILOSOPHY

Dance and be free 🏳️‍🌈​

Not always the urgent things are the important ones.

Listen, breathe... don't make a big deal of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travel around the world and discover what an amazing planet we have. On this planet, there are many social issues but all of them have the same root: we want to live our lives in peace, in our land, in our culture, in our way, but governments, companies, or other communities don't allow us to do so.

That's my conclusion after interviewing several people around the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish and also something about music, because I play oboe, and also about graphic design, because I was studying communication and arts, and I worked as a graphic design, Spanish cook (tapas, paella, salads..Mmmmm), And maybe we can speak about art, books, political, travels, philosophy and wherever in front of a tea or a glass of wine!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Amazing meals, nice talks in lovely cafes, my music, my friends, my house
