I run an environment organisation, spend a lot of time trying to persuade governments to do the right thing. Trying to learn spanish love the culture and music, travel a lot in New York three months of the year and many other places where UN meetings are happening. Enjoy spending time with people who are motivated and want to make a contribution and also have fun and laugh. Living in San Sebastian in Spain one of the most beautiful places in the world.
