CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy every moment and help to dream a better world!!!

ABOUT ME

I am a lover of life, a lover of nature, poetry and thought. I'm a creative and passionate person who loves travel in every sense of this word.
I also like silence, meditation and the simple things in life such as laughing of anything or a hot infusion when it's cold, a conversation between friends or walking, reading, writing, watching movies or making my own movies, cycling without hands, playing guitar and piano, learning about different cultures and philosophies...

PHILOSOPHY

.There are other worlds but they are in this one / Paul Eluard

.Who has a why can deal with almost any how / Friedrich Nietzsche

.The true life is absent... Life must be changed / Arthur Rimbaud

.In this great dream that we call life,
the only indispensable thing is to breathe...
We came to this dream with nothing,
we'll leave with nothing...
The rest is just a gift / David M. N.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I slept on the Pyrenees at 3000 above sea level, beside a frozen lake...
I watched the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel for one hour followed...
I walked the "Camino de Santiago" (from the North, el camino primitivo), alone, with my tent, accompanied only by the fields, the trees and the stars...
I crossed the whole India from the Himalayas to Tamilnadu, met a monk in a cave who had been there three years and shared with me some of his spiritual achievements...
I lived in India for six months spending no more than six hundred euros and worked one month for an NGO from a small and sacred village called Tiruvannamalai, where one of the crowdest pilgrimages of the world take place. I met my wife in that wonderful village...
And the most amazing thing of all: I've been breathing for about 30 years!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some Yoga or meditation or philosophy of good living, but I can learn a lot more by opening up to others. I can also teach some Spanish and I could help to start with the guitar.
