ABOUT ME
Hello everyone! Life is always changing and I really enjoy the challenge of adapting to it. Meeting good people and exploring new places has been my passion for many years. Now I seem to be coming to the end of a cycle, where I soon will be returning to my homeland, Spain, after almost 14 years abroad. I spent two years in Spain close to my family, and now I'm ready to move to New Zealand for few years. This has been and still is an amazing journey! Thanks to all those people I met along the way and the experiences I shared during my travels I have come to understand more of myself and become a better person. I really enjoy nature, and a healthy/active lifestyle helps me maintain a good balance. I really enjoy practicing Yoga, running and swimming to keep my body in tune with my mind. I also enjoy good conversation over a cup of coffee and cooking in the company of my family/friends. Now I would like to keep meeting more wonderful people and sharing experiences, so please let me know when you are around!
