  • Description

    After a couple of years of being at home, I'll put myself in movement again. I've been working as a psychologist for the last two years and doing other things too, and now I'm planning to go back to the road.

    I really enjoy learning new things and now I'm particularly interested in permaculture. I already had some practical experiences. I had a garden for a couple of years where I've grown part of my vegetables, and some day I would like to live in a more rural area where I could start a permaculture project. I've also stayed in two farms for some time, where I've been doing agriculture related jobs and taking care of the animals.

    I also like travelling and especially by hitchhiking. I made some trips through Argentina and central and South America too this way. I also love photography, and I try to combine those pleasures as much as I can.

    Cooking is another thing that I really enjoy doing it, I try to do my best to make up something with the ingredients that I have available.

    I also worked a couple of years with my father as a "luthier" building violoncellos (I've built five of them) and doing some repairs.

    Anyway, I guess talking about oneself is always difficult, but I think that I'm an open person who just wants to have different experiences, learn new things and meet new people in order to enjoy the life. As simple as that!
