Where are you and what did you do before coming here?
I was born in Madrid, but I am really a people from another region, Castilla-La Mancha, Alcazar de San Juan, where Cervantes was born say, but not unclear.

I started in Madrid in 2006 or 2007, with the initial aim of working in abroad. I entered as an intern, scholarship, and then I was hired as technical coordination of exhibitions. Then they sent me a while to Stockholm, as a cultural manager, until I got the place in Rio.

What caught my attention in Sweden is that society is seemingly perfect. Have a high cultural level so that no interest in things even called low culture. live in a Queen society in which equality for all.
