Other
- What are your hobbies and what do you like about them?
- Videogames: I like to be transported to different worlds and get lost there. I prefer single-player games with deep stories and RPG elements. But I also like to play League of Legends with friends
- Skiing: I love the sense of speed and skiing is for me the ultimate way to feel it
- Eating: When I travel, I enjoy the food as much as the sights

- Can't remember tbh
- What was your first thought when you woke up this morning?
- I woke up very early, so my first thought was not to make noise so that I wouldn't wake my wife up.

- I generally dislike questions that are asked for the sake of asking when the person would take less time in figuring out the answer than in asking and listening to the reply.

- If you could have a coffee with any person in the world, who would it be?

- There's many, but one you probably don't know is that my oldest brother is the direct descendant of Quevedo (direct meaning only looking at the elder sibling in the genealogical line), one of the most important peots in Spanish history. But don't expect much poetry from me, those genes got lost somewhere on the way.

- I like everything. I think it is important to learn to appreciate food in general, no matter what it is, for obvious reasons.
- What is your favorite quote?
- Soy dueño de mis silencios y prisionero de mis palabras. I am the owner of my silences and the prisoner of my words
