I am born in Barcelona, and I have been always in love with my city. I had great teachers in high school that transferred to me their passion for our history and architecture, and they encouraged me to never stop reading and learning about Barcelona.
Training, Licenses & Certifications:
- 2000 - Official Guide of Catalonia License, by the Tourism Department of the Generalitat de Catalonia.
- 1998 - English Proficiency Exam, by the Cambridge University
- 1995-98 - Degree in Translation and Interpretation (French, Russian and Italian) by the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
Languages:
- Mother tongues: Spanish and Catalan.
- Fluent in English. Courses taken in several local language schools, and the Miami Dade community college (USA)
- Fluent in French. Courses taken in the Barcelona Autonomous University, the Institut Français de Barcelone and the Ecole des Roches (Paris).
- Fluent in Italian. Courses taken in the Barcelona Autonomous University and the Official Language School of Barcelona.
- Advanced level of Russian (not fluent enough yet to offer tours in this language). Courses taken in the Barcelona Autonomous University, the Official Language School of Barcelona, the Pushkin Institute of Moscow and the Saint Petersburg State University (Russia).
Work Experience:
- After university I spent one year traveling, and when I came back I got a job as part of the Information staff of the Sagrada Familia, the unfinished Gaudi church and the most visited monument in Barcelona. As well as helping the visitors, my responsibilities included giving private tours to personalities, press and special guests. I worked there for three years, enjoying the company of employees who had spent a large part of their lives in such an amazing building, and appreciating the advice and explanations of the architects that are continuing the works. Having the chance of discovering the amazing Gaudi world from its insides has been one of the best experiences in my life.
- After I passed the official exam to be able to work as a tour guide in the city, I started working as a freelance fulltime. My clients are local and American travel agencies, cruise ships, five-star hotels, companies and privates. Among my clients stand out tourism agencies such as Icono Serveis Culturals (Barcelona Online, Hotel Arts Ritz-Carlton, City Council of Barcelona...), Miki Travel, GTA, BGB, City Guides, Baleares Consignatario, APIT, Alsatouring, Barcelona Hostess, Javier Serret, AFI, Protravel Inc. (U.S.A.), The Total Traveler (U.S.A.), Ovation Tours (U.S.A.)
- I also work occasionally as a freelance written translator for some translation agencies and other direct clients.
- In 2003 I assisted the journalists Dominique Auzias et Patrick Maringe in the updating of the new edition of the popular French guidebook Le Petit Futé (Barcelona 2004).
Organizations & Associations:
- Member of the Professional Association of Tour Guides of Catalonia
