About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling and learning around the world looking for educational technology projects... and something else!!

ABOUT ME

I spent so many years at the university, studying and after that doing my PhD. After these great years it was time to do something different and discover the world, their people and trying to learn a little bit every day.

I like all kind of outdoor sports, travelling on a camper, photography, trekking... and when I have time, I enjoy cooking.

PHILOSOPHY

Take it easy and Aloha are the best two words that I learnt travelling and that describes how I see the life.

I also like that "Happiness is only real when shared" (as said in Into the wild), and Couchsurfing let me share this happiness.

Now, I'm traveling around the world, learning around the world.
