About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover the best bakery in the world by trying desserts in every country I travel to.

ABOUT ME

I hope my friends would say I'm: open-minded, adventurous, positive & spontaneous :)

PHILOSOPHY

Every day is a new adventure and it takes more effort to be angry than to just smile and move on.

Interests

Let's start with the most obvious--traveling! The things I love most about traveling are:
-trying desserts in every country
-learning about other people's journeys and lives
-sharing music
-listening to/sharing jokes in different languages
-collecting postcards & coasters
-Meeting people who I realize I'm connected to in some crazy, fateful way
-Learning how to say "I love you" in as many languages as possible

In general, I love:

-photography; in particular, portraits and reflections
-walking & exploring; sometimes you find the best things when you're lost
-Coffee shops; the best place to concentrate or meet new people
-fútbol; Barca fan!
