ABOUT ME

Most of my time I work on my latest project, a platform for crowdacting. You can find out more at: crowdacting.org
I've always sought freedom and adventure. at 15 i went to Australia for a year as an AFS exchange student. that began a 15 year love affair with travel and languages. I worked teaching ESL in Mexico, Cuba, Russia, Poland, Turkey, Oman, Czech Republic. Tired of working, I ended my travels as an activist and ex-worker in Barcelona, where i enjoyed over a decade squatting buildings and land and putting down roots in an activist community - www.canmasdeu.net

En mi tiempo libre me dedico como voluntario a mi proyecto, una plataforma para el crowdacting: collaction.org
Siempre he buscado libertad y aventura. A los 15 años fui a Australia por un año de estudiante de intercambio cultural. Alli me enamoré de viajar y aprender idiomas. Trabajé enseñando Inglés en México, Cuba, Rusia, Polanda, Turkiye, Oman, Republica Checa. Cansado de trabajar, dejé mis viajes en 2000 y me hice activista en Barcelona, donde pasé mas de una decada maravillosa expropiando edificios y huertos y echando raizes en una colectivo ecologista - www.canmasdeu.net
