About joneguiluz:

I was born in Spain some thirty years ago. I moved to the Canary Islands when I was a child with my family. Then I came back to the Basque Country where I lived until I moved to Colombia. I lived there for three years and then went to Australia for a whole year. I've lived back in the Basque Country for the last 12 years, and have worked as a teacher of English and Spanish, but I'm moving to Iceland in two weeks' time. I'm going to work in a farm, 50km away from Reykjavík, near Selfoss.

Hobbies:

I love travelling (South America is great, but I've recently started to discover some very interesting areas in Europe), reading (travel books are some of my favourite but I definitely love authors such as Joseph Conrad, Álvaro Mutis or Antoine de Saint-Exupéry), going to the cinema and listening to music (Jazzanova, Bugge Wesseltoft, and many other electronic jazz bands).

Favourite places:

Parque Nacional Tayrona (Colombia), San Agustín (Colombia), Providence Island (Colombia), Torres del Paine (Chile), Punta Arenas (Chile), Galápagos Islands (Ecuador), Tikal (Guatemala), Baja California (México), Panama City, New York City, Sydney (Australia), Ayers Rock (Australia), Antananarivo (Madagascar), Mauritius Island, Casablanca (Morocco), Lixus (Morocco), Volubilis (Morocco), Riga (Latvia), Tallinn (Estonia), Helsinki (Finland), Porto (Portugal), and many others!

There was a very difficult stage, when I was driving after Inge finished her first turn: she fell asleep in her seat, while I tried to focus on the road, driving very concentrated at the same time I listened to Sigur Rós.Suddenly, their song became a lullaby, and I couldn't help closing my eyes at least 3 times. I finally decided to stop at a petrol station and buy some drink with a bit of caffeine, and I chose an awful warm can of Red Bull, which I definitely think that should be forbidden everywhere in the world. Inge took control and drove from then on, until we reached Algeciras, where the car was supposed to be returned.
The ferry was not as crowded as we expected, and the security was not as hard as we thought, counting on the fact that the authorities were pretty much concerned about the possibility of terrorist attacks o
