ABOUT ME
It's a bit difficult to describe myself... I think I'm and open-minded dude. I do enjoy a lot having new experience, trying new things and discovering new places and people.
I was born in Barcelona, capital city of Catalonia, a country inside of the Spanish state. We have own language, Catalan, our own folklore and traditions... We've recently banned bullfighting from our country, it makes me proud of being born Catalan... It was a shame to live in a country where animal torture was allowed.
I do also have good sense of humor, or thats what I think... The people around me would probably tell you that it's a little too much sarcastic ;) Do not believe them!
I've a MSc on Computer Science and I'm working on my PhD... Probably it doesn't seem the most exciting area but I enjoy what I do. Moreover, it gives the opportunity to travel all around the world...
I love traveling, I really do. Traveling is probably the best school one can go. You lost all you prejudices.
