You cannot know when fame is going to call you, so better be prepared. Here is a list of 10 things about me a few people know.

1 – I have two nationalities.

I was born in Madrid, so I am spanish, but I am also Ecuadorian by heart. I have both nationalities since I was born, but I didn’t claim the Ecuadorian one until I was 32 years old.

2 – I collect clocks.

Wall or table clocks, I like both. . However, not everyone is worth it. They have to have something that catches my attention. My favorite one is of Italian design and marks the hour with steel balls

3 – I have an evening biorhythm.

This means I am more productive in the evenings and nights. I figured this out when I was 15 because I used to stay awake until two or three in the morning. Also, working 12 years at night helped to secure it

However, I have visited four and close to 27 countries. I have also been the owner of a flat, three refrigerators, two washing machines, four laptops, two desktops and two drills; but only one toaster, one rice cooker and one blender.

7 – I speak six languages.

To speak them does not mean to master them as if I was a native; but I can communicate in Spanish, English, Spanish sign language, German, Japanese and Ecuadorian sign language. The lowest level is in German and it is equivalent to an A2.
