About Me

Day-dreamer, an ambitious person, constantly making up new projects, travel ideas etc.

Introvert. I enjoy spending time alone (reading, hiking etc). And I find more rewarding spending my time with a few good friends then in big group of people.

Feminist. I'm interested in gender issues and sexuality studies although my degree is not related at all with this area. I'm involved on LGBT rights and other issues/topics.

Nature Lover. I take great pleasure in hiking through the forest, bird watching and working in recovery centers for wild animals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Enjoyed the total silence and sun rise of the Merzouga desert (Morocco). It's really difficult to "hear" the total silence. And while watching the sunrise from the top of the dunes created one of most beautiful moments I've ever experienced :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I really like to share and learn :) everyone always have something to teach even just by sharing a life experience :) I don't have a deep knowledge on any subject to be able to consider myself qualified to teach it but if you are interested on learning a little bit about staff juggling, spit fire or balloon modulation I will be happy to share what I know. Also I used to play drums and I can show you some simple jazz or rock rhythms :)
