CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to travel the globe and breath in the esence of the city, blending to be almost a local wherever I go.

ABOUT ME

All about me? I am a self driven person, contemplative at times, extrovert at others, social and with a good sense of humour and common sense too! I speak 3 languages, Spanish, English and Italian. I went to uni and have been traveling since I was 19, on and off though. I like working hard and volunteering and sightseeing...all a backpacker does in general really. I like being informed of the history and current issues of place I am going to. i am easy to talk to and respectful of local traditions and honoured to be received as a surfer, and even more when my time coomes to receive you in my hometown in Costa Rica.

PHILOSOPHY

Have a good time with the ones I care about :)

Interests

Sleeping when it rains (no matter the time of the day)...reading, swimming, cycling...and most lately drawing! :-) Enjoyng free time, and lately doing some farm work, it feels nice to do/make stuff with my hands; texting, chatting, blah blah...
Also, doing as many non-stop-sit-ups as I can resist, writing, taking naps, midnight walks (not in England!!), card magic, cooking new unsuspected things my mom would just throw away, photography, Italian, traveling around the world, hippos, reading, dancing salsa, merengue, you name it...but not reggaeton, walking my dog and going to the gym...anything else?
My favourite music is from LP. Korn, Guano Apes, Moby. Coldplay...Buddha Bar..only a few and I mean a few tunes in Spanish and Costa Rica's national Anthem obviously :-)

How to be Idle by Tom Hodgkinson and tons of books I've read that were my favourite in their moment...currently I got Mandela's autobiography and also Shantaram by G. David Roberts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saved my dad's life twice

Teach, Learn, Share

I like teaching, it is my profession but beyond that, I like learning, I am like a sponge, specially when it comes to traveling!
