About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go with the flow; trust, faith, creative life, love

ABOUT ME

Guys, before you write to me about London
***I LIVE IN MADRID***
(CS doesn't let me change the location!)

To me CS is about accepting other people. So now, I am not so sure about the value of a lot of info on taste: my mission is, vive la difference!

Still out of desire to share love of culture, here are some things I like and a bit about me.

I worked for 3 years in the British Museum and had the chance to study cultures from around the world as well as work with people from all over the world and of all ages, and mentalities. That was great.

I like music. A lot. Colour, laughing, thinking, conversations, dancing, watch good films and TV series, tinker on musical instruments, write, draw, look at art and the everyday, see places and learn new things.

I'm going to research into training in Industrial design as I hope it will be a practical way to contribute to sustainability for the future, looking to study in a year or two.

I believe in positive thinking

PHILOSOPHY

I'm always working on that one.

Its good to be a fool sometimes, as we are all a bit unswervably irrational, and its funny, and ok.

'Know thyself': old but good.

Laugh
