About Me

Hey there!

I'm a Brand Planner, Communication Strategist and an experienced restless ass from Barcelona, Spain.

After been living in San Franscisco for a while, just to check and verify by myself that everything was exactly like the damn Hollywood movies about USA have been showing me during my whole life. And after a while, less of the Walk of Fame -that was pretty much a disappointment-, I can say that every place is even better than I expected. And the most part of that is ‘cause of the people that I met. Hey! And my english got so much better (and that was my real goal).

After an unforgetable year, I came back to BCN and tried to start a "normal-common" life (stable work, an apt and a boyfriend as well). Didn't work out. So now I'm back to The States, to NYC, for vacations till the end of August. A little breath.

About me...If there's any word that can describe myself and my life, it is SERENDIPITY. Random, destiny, luck... I didn't expect how amazing it would be to fool around, learn and develop skills that I didn't know that I had, meet friends from all over the world and find myself far away from the place that I've always called home. It's something about; "The bird doesn't belong to the nest where its born but to the sky where it flies".
