About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a very energic girl from Barcelona. I've been born and rised in Badalona, a city nearby, few meters from the beach. As a mediterranian person I love meeting people and enjoy time gathering together with friends or new people I meet on the way. I hold a PhD in Biomedicine. I've had the great experience to live abroad, most of the time in Copenhagen, a very wonderful city! A part from the day-by-day living, I have this need about travelling around as much as I can, I've been all over Europe with friends and family sometimes, I've been in Asia, Central America and also up and down the USA, also in Canada trying to watch some wild whales...! But the best experiences I can talk about are when I decided to take my backpack and travel to Accra (Ghana) with a friend, we ended up in a orphanage teaching some kind and clever kids for one month, and everything pretty much started there... around 2007, for the real me. I did the same type of travel to India and Nepal, and then I backpacked without a very clear route around China one summer. My last big adventures were one month in Japan! And I was both teaching in a rural school and backpacking in Thailand last summer! Let's see what's next :)

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a very active girl, I love to laugh and make people laugh around me. I actually need people surrounding me to be happy and to really feel that we are all able to do whatever we want to do, it's just a fact. It's called effort sometimes, and some people call it faith. From a personal point of view, I think it's called "myself", since the most important thing is starting to know yourself, so as to enjoy this planet, the people, the different cultures, the art, the music, bla bla bla. And that's it, just wear a smile and live your life. It's sunny if you want it to be!

"I need to continue learning, searching, seeing things that will differentiate me from others because it's not what you show people but how it makes you feel inside. You need something to keep yourself alive" Herbert Baglione
