Interests

My hobbies are travelling and music. Travelling wherever and whenever I can, if I can go with friends, great!!! but if I can´t doesn´t matter I will go on my own. Travelling on your own is also great. Here you have an interview they made me in a travel web (it´s in spanish):

I could continue and continue,...It´s better you check my blog of music (in Spanish): http://una-cancion-al-dia.blogspot.com/

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling round the world!!! The most amazing thing I´ve done and ever do again. Check it here http://lavueltaalmundoen4meses.blogspot.com/ sorry but it´s in Spanish ;-)

Craziest thing? Skydiving in NZ. I realised that my big travel had changed myself. If you had told me that before leaving home I would have called you crazy.

Other crazy thing can be do the cage diving in South Africa, diving into a cage in front of the Great White Shark
