About Me

I'm currently finishing my Classics degree in Barcelona and after that I want to study a master degree in Indo-European Linguistics, so yes, I really love languages. Also I like to hear every kind of stories from people and, well, I do my best in sharing mine, but I'm not so good at it. I'm very passionate with things I love, too.
Travelling is a way of discovering new people, new cultures, new places and sharing knowledge, the most similar thing to nomadism. Maybe that's why I like to travel around the world as much as I can. Also, I must confess I have a special weakness with Eastern Europe and Western Asia stuff.
I really like to walk. Like a lot. I prefer to visit the cities by walk than using public transportation everytime I'm able to. I think it's the best way, since you can see many more things not so known.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learning Ancient Greek, which I consider is one of the most poetic languages in the world.
Getting lost twice in Zagreb at night, even if I still don't know if it's actually amazing.
Watching in situ a semifinal Handball World Cup match between Croatia and Denmark with hrvatski supporters.
