About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Redesigning life. Again :)

ABOUT ME

Natural born traveler.
Easy going and genuine. I am the type of guy that enjoys the odd pint at the pub and a good company. Sometimes quite and sometimes loud, amazed by places and amazed by people, pretty good listener and fairly good conversationalist, able to surprise you with the unexpected, stubborn, determined at times, passionate, wicked sense of humor and always up for a laugh. I can take a lot of teasing and I tease others a lot myself!

PHILOSOPHY

"A man needs to travel. By his means, not by stories, images, books or TV. By his own, with his eyes and feet, to understand what is his. For some day planting his own trees and giving them some value. To know the cold for enjoying the heat. To feel the distance and lack of shelter for being well under his own roof. A man needs to travel to places he doesn't know for breaking this arrogance that causes us to see the world as we imagine it, and not simply as it is or may be. That makes us teachers and doctors of what we have never seen, when we should just be learners, and simply go see it."
Amyr Klink (Brazilian sailor and writer)

Learned two foreign languages (not that amazing, but still...).
Climbed up Mt Sinai.
Swam on a lake 50 meters underground.
Screamed inside a pyramid in Egypt.
Sang a song in Malgasy.
Went whale-watching in the Artic sea.
Rode the Barcelona metro without my pants on.
