About me.

Hi there!!

Well, first of all let me introduce myself: my name is Marc, and though I am from a small town called Vic, I live in Barcelona, nothern Spain.

I work as a tour leader, so I'm all day taking people all around Barcelona and its sorroundings, and I love it!!

Since a few months ago, I am also studying for a master's degree: East Asian studies.

Ok guys, that's what I do, but who am I?

I consider myself a normal guy who used to be very shy, but years did something great on me: they opened my mind!!

So I went to uni, where I studied conference interpreting for four years, and then I moved to Barcelona where I got my job as a tour leader.

Now I love talking to people, I cannot stay home without doing nothing and my greatest passion is traveling, so:

 TRAVELING & ASIA = MARC

That's it; I feel attraction to anything realated to Asia, so I work hard for nine months a year, so then I can travel around Asia.

But there are many other things I love doing: scuba diving, driving, cooking sushi, dreaming, summer nights and... blogging. Sharing travel experiences is just great, I love cheking out traveler's real experiences before going somewhere.
