About Me

*I DO ACCEPT LAST MINUTE REQUESTS! Careful! Renovating the whole house right now!! Between Barcelona and Tarragona most weeks. If you are in a hurry, then drop me a line and we will see!
*Workaway opportunities right now!

I'm a 32 years old girl. I'm from Catalonia, Spain, so I speak both Spanish and Catalan perfectly. I have learnt English for so many years but since I started architecture in the university I don't practise it at all and that's why I came here. About my hobbies... I love technology, sports and of course... to travel. I love to travel and I try to do it as often as my career and my pocket let me :-)
I like to travel around Europe but I try to go far away in summer :-)

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special. Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you. Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless. Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life on day at a time, you'll live all the days of your life. Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other. Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave. Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Don't dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams it to be without hope; to be without hope is to be without purpose. Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been but also where you're going. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way."
