Overview
About Me
Please, read my profile carefully before sending your request!
CURRENT MISSION
Working to get rid of society's limiting paradigms and doing things I care about every day.
Like Nokia, I love "Connecting People" but in real life!
ABOUT ME
Born and raised in (next to) Barcelona, getting to know people from totally different backgrounds, cultures and corners has been the most enriching experience in my life.
A few years back, I took the plunge and ditched my regular job to dive into freelancing. I ventured into organizing events and conferences, despite having zero prior experience. Let's just say it was a chaotic start, but somehow, I've managed to turn it into a career that pays the bills – and lets me do what I love.
Cultural immersion isn't just a buzzword for me; it's practically my bread and butter. Back in uni, post my exchange stint, I co-founded ESN at my Uni. We'd guide incoming international students, hook them up with cool trips, and serve up resources to ensure they got a genuine taste of Barcelona.
Fast forward a bit, and I found myself in the study abroad arena, hooking up international students with internships in Barcelona – living the dream, right?
These days, I host shindigs in Barcelona where we showcase two speakers who spill the beans on their biggest professional flops. It's all about forging real connections and helping folks break free from those pesky societal norms.
I'm all about good conversation over drinks or tasty meals, catching live music, hitting up exhibitions, and rambling through nature trails or getting lost in new places
And hey, if my Couchsurfing profile screams "open-minded, laid-back, and travel-crazy," well, isn't that the whole point? ;)
PHILOSOPHY
Helping others and being at my best every day;
Life is about human connections
