At the weekend: I´m usually trying to surf when the Mediterranean sea cooperates, playing tennis, reading historical fiction, writing amateur poetry, or learning how to use my Fujifilm camera. And occasionally, reminiscing about my past island life.

An idea that powers me: How storytelling and collaboration can accelerate environmental innovation, helping translate research and policy into tangible solutions and behavior change.
