• I love travelling 🌍 and discovering new people as well as learning from them. I love when I find people who inspire me.

• I am an easy going, open minded and positive person. I always try to SHARE SMILES.

• I really like doing yoga, running, cycling, being in contact with the nature (trees, animals, the sea, mountains...), reading about psychology and writing all kind of stuffs that cross my mind! 🤓

• I try (as much as I can) to take care of people, starting from my sister, my grandparents and my parents until whoever I meet on the way that I could help.

• I also keep an eye to our world 🌍 (its atmosphere, animals, seas, trees, land...). We just have one, there is no B planet (yet 🚀). This is why I work as a Renewable Energy Project Developer 😊

• There is always place for JOKES EVERYWHERE.

• I like trying new kinds of food. I LOVE Indian, Japanese, Italian, Chinese, Mexican, Arabic cuisines; and Basque and Spanish ones too, of course 😜. I LOVE drinking infussions every night and feeling their warmth ☺️

• I like reading and learning while doing it 🤓

• I am keen on always looking for new challenges and things to do, my appetite to learn is enless! 💪🍀

• Putting into practice: Slow walking, slow eating... We tend to go too FAST in our society
