Overview
About Me
I grew up in Menorca, that small Mediterranean island in the east of Spain. I lived all my childhood with my parents and sisters in the field. At my 20 I left my place to go and study filmmaking in Barcelona for 4 years. When I finished in 2012 I started traveling, visiting and living in different countries. I made a lot of friends around the world. So far, the adventure is going very well.
Right now I am kinda settled in Menorca, working as a potter in the family business, shooting films (not so often) and spending time with the people I love.
I stopped eating meet in 2012 but I think I can't say I am 100% vegetarian. I eat fish when I've been able to fish it. That means that if you stay at my place you there's a 99% probability that you won't eat any animal meat (unless you brought it with you). Instead, I will delight you with incredible vegetarian dishes.
As Timon and Pumba from The Lion King, I say: "live and let live". That's my motto. I try my best to respect any kind of existence.

Music, Movies, and Books
I like all kinds of music: indie, rock, pop, jazz, classic, metal...
Favorite books: Kerouac's On the road (yes, classy), Walden by H. D. Thoreau, all Raymond Carver short stories, Sam Shepard's Motel Chronicles, Edmund de Waal's The White Road, Nelson Mandela's autobiography, among others.
Movies: probably the old ones are my favorite. I really like Godard, John Cassavettes, Alain Resnais...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I crossed Europe in an act of love. I think that's a big one.
Teach, Learn, Share
I could teach some spanish or catalan language. I also could teach some stuff related with cinema or pottery making, also how to cook vegetarian meals.
About Menorca: I know every beautiful place in the island, I can show you whatever you want!
I'm whiling to learn anything you can teach me. I am a good student!
