I grew up in Burgos, a small city in Northern Spain. My dad took me skiing for the first time when I was 8 on the Spanish side of the Pyrenees, and that was definitely the beginning of something big!
I started teaching right after finishing High School, spent my first 7 years in the industry getting some experience and completing all my qualifications in Spain, and I became fully certified at the age of 24. I really wanted to travel and I couldn’t stop chasing new countries and mountains! After my last 4 years working in Japan, I’ve decided it’s about time to experience the greatest mountains of my own continent.

Hobbies
When the winter is over I usually switch from skis to a backpack, then I head to warmer countries and beautiful islands instead of mountains! I am a herpetologist, which means I’m crazy about amphibians and reptiles. I have a big passion for photography as well, so I often combine those two together and end up in jungles to get some shots of the most exotic wildlife on Earth!
I also love surfing, working out, cooking and reading.
