Breakfast with Andrea Benitez

Ndrea Benítez. I Can’t Really Dance Flamenco. Professional Skater.

What would you tell us about you in a phrase.
Anywhere at all, from everywhere a little.

What breakfasts?
As a good Andalusian always had breakfast a toast with oil, although now that I have changed my routine breakfast something that gives me more energy and makes me start the day with positivism. Coffee with oat milk + sampling bowl and cut fruit.

What makes you get out of bed every morning?
We all make mistakes sometimes and we have had stages in which we do not really see the end of what we do every day, but the truth is that I am at a time of my life that wakes me happy knowing that I am going to do what I like, and that fills me with satisfaction.
How they say in Japanese culture, which is your "ikigai", which keeps you alive inside.
Look back and see everything I have evolved as a person.

Who or what has inspired you lately?
My last trip to Los Angeles has inspired my truth a lot.

What do you dream about?
In becoming the type of person that when someone knows gives you the feeling of traveling.

How is Andrea a day?
I get up after 9 hours of sleep (I sleep a lot), I make coffee, breakfast, touch the guitar and I'm going to skate or train depending on the day. Then I return home and if I am very tired I see a movie or read. Although it usually remains energy to take something with my friends.
That's the days at home, 80% of the year I'm traveling hahaha.

What does a jewel mean for you?
It means a memory or reminder, of an important stage or person for me.

Do you recommend something we can't miss?
The other day I saw Jim Greco's new: "Jobs? Never !!". It is a short film/skate film recorded in Los Angeles with skaters skating in a slightly psychedelic jacket and music ... it transports you to the eighties in a few minutes 🙂
