About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm Edgar, I was born in Barcelona but I lived in Berlin and Toulouse as well. I have studied History, Philosophy and Anthropology in Barcelona (and abroad).
I love football, reading (above all), painting, cinema, music, partying, learning languages, meeting people and travelling.

PHILOSOPHY

I love traveling, hitchhiking and meeting people. I think we can get better the world, if we participate in initiatives like CS. That's the perfect example of a synergy and reciprocity. We all win with CS and this feeling help me to try another similar undertakings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 2 years in berlin and Toulouse and I saw a perfect harmony between people of, at least, 15 countries. Now I'm living with a blind person, and it is really interesting.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to learn almost everything. Now, I think I should learn dancing very well, but I'm lazy. I Can teach history, philosophy, literature, some languages and how to play table-tennis. I can also share a good conversation and a lot of weird stories.
