Hello, my name is Diego, born in Spain and considered myself a world citizen. I am a member of WMES, WMDE, WMAT and Commons Photographers Group. You will find me rather in Commons (guaranteed quickest answer here) or in the Spanish Wikipedia. I can help in both projects with admin rights.

My main areas of interest are photography, traveling, languages and technology.
