About Me

Hi!!

I'm from Barcelona and I'm really motivated to discover the outside world. I feel very lucky to had been born here and being raised by our Mediterranean culture, this charming weather and our food. Since I was a child I grew with a sensibility for nature due to the part of my family that lives in a rural area of Girona. Back then, I loved building cabins outside and exploring the forest. Nowadays, part of my self-knowledge path is to be reconnected with that kid :)

My principal drive is my curiosity. I love to discover people and new ideas. It's exciting to discover unexpected companies and also practicing what I found interesting to carry with me in my journey, a path, that if it's thought enough, It's worth having as much fun as possible. I don't say that things don't have to be taken seriously but I feel like balance is the key. Currently, my aim is to discover what can I do for a living and it's alined with who I am and what I believe. With this mindset, I started my first project alone this year, looking for a solution to single-use packaging. I also joined a collective of construction with natural materials in my city and I'm getting in touch with alternative ways of entrepreneurship like cooperativism and social economy.

Whenever I can, I try to exercise wich I found It's a great source of fun and vitality. I love climbing and just started with yoga. I like to rest my mind meditating.

I think that we live a special moment, scary and enlightening at the same time, which brings us the opportunity to live in new ways and discover different thinking.

Music, Movies, and Books

My last best reading was Dharma Bums. It touched me. The book made me wish for a connection with myself, others, and the material world while I found a good purpose for action. 🌋

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once in the middle of the night, I was steering to a star in a relaxed state of mind. Somehow, It gained light and furiously disappeared in front of my eyes. It wasn't a star, It was a light dot levitating 5 meters in front of me.
