Where would you get lost?
Travelling around Southeast of Asia: Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Nepal… any of these places, I have already been lost there and they are amazing.
What is the hardest thing to do?
Accept the cruelty in this world, seeing how the people with the power to change things are often dedicated only to changing things for themselves.
What are you great at?
Reinventing myself, I believe life is in continuous change, so I need to develop different skills for different situations.
A memory
Backpacking with my wife for two years in the Southeast of Asia, happiest days ever!!! And becoming a father has engraved many situations in my mind. Everything is still very fresh, in construction, but I know that today’s experiences will become intense memories.
With what dish would you surprise your guests?
As lover of Southeast of Asia (did I mentioned it?), any Asian curry with coconut milk, I learned to cook a decent version while travelling.
A book, a movie and a song
I start with the music. It is a difficult choice because a different song brings me to a different situation and emotion, perhaps as representative I would choose Pixies, and the song: “Where is my mind?”.
The same for the movies, different moment brings a different movie, from Le concert, Salto al vacío, The Lord of the Rings… and many more.
And, as a book, from Steppenwolf (Lobo estepario, Hermann Hesse) to A Confederacy of Dunces (La conjura de los necios, John Kennedy Toole).
What would you take with you to a desert island?
It depends, desert (food) island: insulin, desert (sand) island: a desalination plant, and in any way: family and friends…
What superpower would you like to have?
I had it and lost it, the ability to sleep 12 hours so deeply that nothing could weak up me.
This part has definitely not been suggested by the interviewed:
I would also mention an important part of my life that I have on hold at this moment due to lack of time: that is theatre. I started learning dramatic arts when I realised something was missing in my life: as a scientist, mind was constantly being trained, by doing sport regularly, I was taking care of my body, and as a social person, I was developing socially, but… what about my own emotions?
So I started learning/ practicing/ living theatre performance, and now is an important part of my personal development.
