About Me
ABOUT ME
I'm from Terrassa, a city pretty near from Barcelona. I grew up in this city (well I lived in Sabadell till 5 years old but it's quite a boring story).
I love my country, what is not an easy thing, 'cause it hasn't been recogneized as an official state...yet. I'm speaking about not Spain, but Catalonia, and yes it's a long story, but not boring at all this time!
I am currently finishing my Superior Industrial Engineering degree at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and working in a company in Barcelona as a Project manager...so Trust me, I'm (almost) an engineer!
PHILOSOPHY
Live Love Laugh
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've experienced a week couchsurfing in a student's apartment in Berlin, while my bro was studying there in 2012.
In 2013 I couchsurfed "officially" for first time in New York, was such a fantastic experience!
IN 2015 I enjoyed so much my 2013 experience that I decided to return to USA to do a "CS tour". Best idea ever!
Also, I've done something similar when I was younger. My high-school organized a students exchange with other frech students in France, so for a week I was hosting a french student at home, and some moths after I came to his house to live with him and his family for a week... it's something :)
Interests
I'm really open minded, so I'm interested in almost everithing: sports, politics, economy, culture...well, maybe the strategy that ants follow to reach food bores me a bit, lol!
I'm much interested about discovering other cultures, and ways of thinking ( maybe because I have two different cultures: the catalan in one hand and the spanish on the other).
That could the reason why I'm studying an engineering degree: seeing the panoramic view of technology ( chemistry, economics, thermodynamics...) allows you to mix them and release something new, something different. In my opinion, it happens the same mixting different cultures or ways to see the life.
Another thing that amazes me it's basketball, I love it and I used to play it until I had an injury on my knee so I had to stop, and just practice it with friends sometimes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I rather have a rock star life who has jumped from space ,met the president and who has a tiger as a pet... but since it has asked I've eaten snake at Beijing,met Jhonny Depp by coincidence in London or travelled at the fastest train the world, in Shanghai.
Another personal "experience" which has kindda shaped me, is the fact that when I was 7 a tumour where found at my shoulder, after weeks of test in the end it was benign :)

A bunch of personal stories, some traditional spanish food ( have you ever heard about 'jamón'?), some engineering knowledge and, of course fun!
