About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am one of those who never knows the direction of my journey until I have almost arrived.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 24 years old catalan girl living in Barcelona. I like so many things as you can see through your window. Some of them are going to old cinemas, read books before sleep, play with my PSP in the bus, snowfights to death, the sound of the seagulls, the sound of Animal Collective, eat Argentinian ice creams even in winter, smoke a cigarrete after a bath and of course travel a lot - but I'm affraid of heights and it's a big problem for me.

PHILOSOPHY

I can't understand why people are frightened by new ideas. I'm frightened of old ones.

(John Cage)
