- 12:00El amor en 6 metros cuadrados | Sierra Jacobs & Ruben Sanchez | TEDxLeon¿Puede una pareja convivir durante años en un espacio tan pequeño como una plaza de aparcamiento? Sierra y Rubén, viajaron durante ese tiempo a bordo de una furgoneta de expedición que les llevó a vivir una de las aventuras de su vida recorriendo 60 mil kilómetros entre Europa y Asia, pero durante el camino, su aventura no solo estuvo fuera de la furgoneta, también dentro, donde descubrieron los secretos para mantener una relación sana en menos de seis metros cuadrados. Soy oceanógrafa, y una apasionada de la naturaleza. Mi carrera ha transcurrido como educadora, intérprete de idiomas y creadora de contenido divulgativo audiovisual. Mi pasado profesional realmente no me define como persona, sino mis creencias y mis acciones, las cuales están basadas en mi búsqueda de la libertad, pero sobre todo, en causar el menor impacto posible en el medio ambiente.Viajar y contar lo que veo con la ayuda de una cámara son mis pasiones. Soy un humano curioso al que le gusta explorar, probar, intentar y aventurarse. No me tomo muy en serio a mí mismo, pero sí a los demás. He pasado parte de mi existencia acumulando cosas y he decidido dedicar el resto de ella a recopilar vivencias. Intento simplificar la vida por donde se deja. Hace unos años dejé la gran ciudad para vivir en la naturaleza y explorando el mundo en busca de paisajes espectaculares. Soy nómada digital, intruso profesional, videógrafo de viajes, director de fotografía, náufrago de la vida y pastor trashumante frustrado.
