ABOUT ME

This is Fede, born in Argentina in 1992 but raised in Granada, Spain since I was 10 years old.
I'm a freelance tour guide in Granada and surroundings, focused on keeping a sustainable model of tourism and preserving the area and identity of my quarter: Albayzín.

I'm very grateful to life and I feel I'm a very lucky human being because I have lived in many countries, I have done plenty of different jobs, I have met extraordinary people along the way and I have reached many goals I could have never imagined when I was a child.

My purpose in life is to keep learning from others, traveling to discover and get surprised by the difference, connecting with people and animals, nature and dreams.
Music is my religion and laughing is my way of life.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm free, but sometimes I feel jailed in this 21st century society, and I think lots of people feel the same as me; I believe we are our own God, so we have the opportunity to take advantage of our life in the best possible way.

There aren't strangers, there are future friends.

Silence please, we need some peace.

Without music, life would be a mistake.

Best and happiest moments of life are related to food.

Interests

Sharing music groups, films, books and art in general, learning something in your language, cooking and eating what I cooked.
I'm always up for showing my city to my guests and explaining it's history, introducing my friends, etc!
I'm not so serious, so I love joking and laughing while talking about crazy and fun stories of life or talking about whatever for hours and feeling that we're solving the world.
I find very interesting discussing and sharing about ideas, projects, there's always a click in a conversation that can create a new future and connect people in a special way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm no one to teach anything to anyone in life, but I'm more into sharing and learning from others, always through a conversation, discussion and exchanging points of view with a beer or a wine chilling in the terrace of my house or somewehere in the city!

Anyways I can teach you some local Granada's sentences to make you seem a local!!
