ABOUT ME

That´s the hard part...

Ok, I´m 28 years old. I really love to travel, meet new cultures and people all the time and practising my foreign lenguages incapability. I speak much better when drunk, though.
So, I finished my bachelor in Philosophy in the UCM of Madrid (cool prestigious one) and a Master to become a qualified teacher, I used to be quite an active CS while I was in my Erasmus year in Berlin, but now I´ve been living in a really tiny place for a couple of years, so hosting was not really an option.
You can contact me to have a beer or something though. My english is acceptable and my german... well... not that high, but we´ll be able to communicate!

Oh yes! I love to make photos... I really do. You could say that photography is my passion and I kind of do it nicely. Sometimes I manage to make some money out of it too. For those interested:

PHILOSOPHY

Woooow. High responsability here... Ok:

Dont believe in higher entities, I don´t think there´s nothing like the soul or magic. It´s a pity, but it makes everything more special! We´re on our own, whatever we make is our archievement. It´s not God´s will, it´s us who made it. So get up the sofa and go to discover every tiny piece of thing in the world. You never know what you like till you taste it!

Just act based on Nietzsche´s Ethernal Return: Always do whatever you would repeat a million times if you had to repeat this life countless times!
