Resumé
// DISCOVERING THE WORLD
Born in Madrid, in the early 80’s, as a boy full of dreams and with no idea on how to meet them. His childhood was like everyone else’s, a mixture of imagination and reality, listening to learn and speaking to be mistaken. After battling all the dragons, rescue all the princesses and defeat all the villains, he discovered a place where every thought, every decision, every action, is a great adventure: the real world; and he never imagined fantasy worlds again; finally, his dreams found a place to live in. I want to be an inventor! – He claimed, with one hand on his heart and the other one scribbling, oblivious to the life that awaited him. A life full ideas already thought of, already invented objects and man created needs.
