Overview
About Me
Hola! Hey! مرحباً! Merhaba! 🫰🏽
I'm a 26-year-old guy from Spain. After graduating from European Law and International Advocacy in Madrid, I took a gap year and then began working as a legal advisor in architecture and urbanism for a couple of years.
Last year, I moved to La Paz (Bolivia), where I worked as a project manager in Humanitarian Aid and Cooperation.
Right now (Oct 2025), I’m living in New Zealand on a Work and Holiday visa, exploring this beautiful country while continuing my learning journey through farm work, countryside projects, and hospitality jobs.
I have always considered myself energetic and open-minded, with diverse interests and passions. I like the new, the difficult, and the unknown.
Being also a homely and familiar person, I love finding joy and comfort in everyday life and the little things. I like to take things slowly and calmly. To me, one of the best feelings is experiencing how an unknown place and its people eventually turn into a home for oneself. My biggest passions are geography, languages, human studies, skiing, music, aviation, history, and nature.
I aspire to practice a philosophy of life centered on detachment from the material, trying to learn from myself and others as much as possible. Knowing that each person has their particular background and is fighting their own battle helps me see humanity with big empathy.
See you on the road! 🌻🌍🐟🐥🏳️🌈
