I love adventures, books and nature, as well as animals. In my free time I practice swimming. I also practice other sports such as kickboxing, running and power-building. I can define myself as an empathetic and resourceful person who will risk everything to achieve what sets his mind to.
I was born in Elche, a city near the Mediterranean sea. I have always been in contact with water. My parents signed me up for swimming lessons when I was 7 years old and I've loved it ever since. I spent my summers free diving off the Spanish coast and in my travels I practiced it as well. So one day I asked myself what it would be like to be able to stay underwater and breathe. Scuba diving was the asnswer. So I got my Open Water Certificate and continued all the way until I became a Divemaster in Ponta Delgada, Azores Islands. It was an increible experience and my journey is continuing in Iceland!
