About Me

I'm from Barcelona (my own Paradise City), but I've been in Leicester (UK) doing a Media Studies degree for a long period. Now, after four years abroad, I'm spending my time searching for a good job as a journalist, while trying to enjoy every single minute of the beginning of my new life. In my future expectations I include: (probably) study a postgraduate in Journalism, make my guitar technique perfect, and start again to study History of Art and French.I'll also love to travel around the world and meet other people and discover other cultures. But, for now, I'm more than satisfied by living in Barcelona again and spending my valuable time with the people I love and trying to make my dreams come true.So, as it was said in the ancient times, enjoy life: CARPE DIEM!!!

My Interests

Play guitar, listen to rock music, cinema.
