Decades ago, my grandparents came to the Basque Country seeking a better future. I was born and raised in Euskadi, in a village nestled among mountains. I feel Basque and have a strong connection to the ancient traditions, history, and cultural identity of my land.

I love everything related to Basque myths, legends, history, and cuisine, although my favorite part is undoubtedly folklore and music. I play the drums in a Basque traditional music group.

I am fascinated by interacting and communicating with people from other cultures and ideas. It's the best way to broaden the mind and get to know the world better. I speak Spanish, English, and Basque, the native language of the Basque Country.

There's nothing that brings me more joy than seeing others enjoy and fall in love with this land.
