About Me

PHILOSOPHY

The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.

Jack London

Music, Movies, and Books

Jack Kerouac, Jack London, Tolkien... are some of the authors has gone deeper on me, but I also enjoy so much different poets such as the catalans Miquel Martí i Pol or Salvador Espriu, or the latin americans Pablo Neruda and Mario Benedetti.
I like the music by songs, being able to love so many different kind of musics. But I personally enjoy so much with "Manu Chao", "Youssou N'Dour", "Mumford and sons" or the catalans "Manel" and "Els amics de les arts".
I love Woody Allen or the Marx Brothers, either their films and their books. I also enjoy epic movies, such as "Gladiator", "Troy" or "300", as well as movies that make you think, like "A beautiful mind", "Dead poets society", "Good Will Hunting" or "Meeting Joe Black".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To jump from a plane 15.000 feets high with one of the best countrisides ever seen under me, to haik a Glacier, to navigate through incredible fiords... those are the most amazing things I did in New Zealand, probably the nicest and most awesome country I've ever visit!
But also do surfing, swim with sharks, do rafting with crocos, do canoeing with stingers or climb the Urulu Mount in Australia!
