About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Never stop learning, walking... and taking pictures!

ABOUT ME

I was born to travel and take pictures!
So... after a big amount of short courses I decided to study seriously photography. I enrolled myself at the BA-Audiovisual and Multimedia Communication at the University Of Girona... and I've almost finished!!
Here at the University, I have been volunteering for a few years as a photography teachers assistant and step by step I have been doing more things and more interesting. I have even been assistant at the British Museum Photography Department a couple of times too!!
I live in Girona (sharing a flat with other schoolmates) and I love Barcelona too. Both are a beautiful places to walk on it, feel the smell of the streets, enjoy the views of the buildings, the fruits on the markets... I love living here, but what I love the most is show this places to my friends (I think I'm a good Barcelona tourist guide!)
I also like to talk with people to learn things about other places, cultures... or about life in general.
I also like diving and I'm a FC. Barcelona supporter!

PHILOSOPHY

If you did it wrong... don't protest!
If it's your fault... ... don't protest!
Nothing will move if I don't help to move it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When volunteering in Borneo by "Orangutan Foundation", the best experience I've ever had is fall sleep in the middle of the jungle, hours away from any human noise. Just the jungle and us (a group of volunteers). Feel hundreds of jungle noises, far away or just near by you. On the early morning we use to met a group of orphan (and almost rehabilitated) orangutans going to the feeding place, "asking" you to carry them as a backpack to the feeding place... indescribable!
