android-chrome-512x512.png|40 Hello, I'm Alfonso!


A bit about me...

My name is Alfonso, originally from San Sebastián, Spain. I work at the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation and Development (AECID) in Lima, Perú. With a particular focus in peace and conflict, disease prevention and climate change I am trying to make a career in the sector of global health. I hold many passions including playing guitar, rock climbing, and surfing among others. Also, I feel a constant hunger for learning (this site is the result of a new interest in programming, for example) which I try to satisfy by taking on new goals and challenges. Anyway, not looking to bore you here, so take a deeper look at my portfolio if you are interested in getting to know me a bit better.

Want to get in touch with me?

While publishing my Master's Thesis, I am working in humanitarian aid and cooperation at AECID where I am supporting different health projects. Are you interested in getting to know me better? Please check out my Resume or contact me!


My interests

Always looking out for new things to try, I have come to pursue many interests over the course of my life. Filled with curiosity and striving to push myself every time I undertake a new challenge, I have become a fast learner and agile in a variety of subjects. With motivation, discipline (when it lends itself), with humour and never taking myself very seriously, I try to dive into new interests, some of which I have presented below.

Playing Guitar

Music is arguably my biggest passion, and without a doubt the activity I have dedicated the most time to in my adult life. Here is a jazzy tune I wrote, so you can listen to something and not get bored while scrolling!

Climbing

Nature is another passion of mine. Here are some pictures of where I come from and a climbing trip I did in Belgium!
