About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Changing people's life and letting them change mine

ABOUT ME

I think my friends would agree with this short descrption: Very optimistic, extrovert and energetic.
I love to meet new people and, if it's people visiting Barcelona, I love to show them the best places and the places most tourist don't go that are great. I love Barcelona.

PHILOSOPHY

Be positive, visualize and atract!

THE MEANING OF SUCCESS:

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people
And the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics
And endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty,
To find the best in others;

To leave the world a little better,
Whether by a healthy child,
A garden patch or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is the meaning of success.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Interests

I love Communication, Creativity, design, technology and Entrepreneurship.
Most of the books I read are related to this areas and Inovation, art or city guides.

I just started my first business but I would love to started many more. I think the world is full of opportunities and there are many things that can be improved.

Sometimes, I write about the things I like on my blog www.moleskinedigital.com (english, spanish and catalan) and I also tweet a lot (www.twitter.com/instantmillion

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm so excited to have started my first business project some months ago. It's called 1sleeve.com and I'm learning a lot everyday. It's maybe one of the most exciting things that has happened in my life because it gives me the opportunity to meet lots of people and learn lots of things.
Another thing I'm super proud about is having been selected for the IMAGINE Creativity Center this july 2012 (imagine.cc). It's a whole month wroking on innovation and creativity in San Francisco and visiting companies like Google, IDEO, Facebook... and Universities like Stanford and Berckeley. I actually had to do several things to be selected and one was a presentation video. Let me know what you think :-) www.vimeo.com/instantmillion/dreamer

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very good at explaining technology in a simple way. If you own an Apple device, I can help you make the most out of it! :-)

I love to have conversations about live, teach and learn at the same time!

I'd love to learn a little more french, some Japanese or chinese.

I'd love to learn to cook better! :-D
