My background:So this is my story…

- Since I remember I always wanted to fly.
- 20.03.2000 i start paragliding by joining a course in Santa Pola, Alicante, Spain.
- After a couple of years i started compeeting in national and regional spanish leagues.
- In 2005 i do my first SIV with Quim de Marimón in Annecy, France.
- 2003-4 I started flying tandems with friends and got my tandem license with Morilla\'s Brothers from Granada in 2006.
- I did fly paramotor a bit during this time, but didn\'t like so much that noisy heavy thing.
- 2007 i pass my Instructors Rating with Andalusian Federation course: Here it is called "Técnico Deportivo en Parapente". In Spain we have no central federations issuing titles because of our federal state organisation, so we get our ratings from any regional federations, when they make courses, which doesn\'t happen too often.
- I did my practice courses, some other courses and many tandems here in Valencia and Alicante with Parapente Valencia school.
- During 2008-09 I was chosen as Spanish XC Team Leader for some European and Worlds Championships (Serbia, Mexico) ending with the fatal Piedrahita World Championships in 2011.
- Working in Spain doing tandems for "Madrid al Cielo" and "Denubeanube" in Madrid and for "Volarencastejón" (here also doing some courses in July/august 2012) and "TandemTeam" in the Pyrenees.
- Working in Nepal for Avia Club september to june 2012-15 and FlyNepal winter 2015-16 as tandem pilot.
- November 2015 another SIV course with Dillan Benedetti from Blue Sky (Appi School) Pokhara, Nepal.
- June/september 2016 tandem pilot for Entrenúvols in Àger, Catalonia, Spain, also APPI school.
- Working in China as Instructor for UVOL (Xuzhou school) in 2016 and for FlyExtremePPG in Lijiang, developing a new site for tandems and paramotoring.
- I start flying also ULM in 2013 and got my license in 2014, having flown them in Nepal and Spain.

I love xc, hike and fly, comps and fly tandems all around the world!! Appi is perfect for me ;-)
