My name is Jorge Braña, I am nineteen years old and I am a student of History at the University of Oviedo. History has been my passion since I was a child, especially after having seen lots of films about the Roman Empire. I am really proud of what I am studying in spite of the fact that people tend to tell me that I should have started another career with more possibilities to get a job in the future.
As well as this “special” hobby as it is History, I enjoy doing the typical things for a young person. I like travelling as much as my savings allow me. For instance in the last few years I visited London, Rome and Paris and the next year I would like to study abroad with an Erasmus scholarship, maybe in Besaçon so that I could improve my French.
I really like music too. Although I cannot play any instrument and I am unable to sing without being compared with a cat I usually spend hours listening to music (especially indie rock bands as Hard-Fi and Razorlight or punk pop bands as McFly or Simple Plan) or trying to discover some new artists while I surf the net.
In addition, I’m mad about books, mostly, historical novels or biographies. However, I should admit that I never refuse to reading a book it does not matter the author, the century or the genre. The only thing that I usually take into account is the price, that’s why I enjoy buying second hand books in markets.
Nevertheless, with that description it seems that I am the typical guy that lives shut away in his room, which is not true because I love having parties with my friends and going to the cinema and theatre.

Markets with second hand books are incredible, 'cos you can find books you've never heard of!
And, c'mon, History Rules. It's always the same: if we all study engineer, then we won't have a job either.
I am also Jorge Braña!
But I am 54 years old, was born in Santiago, Chile, living now in Austin, Texas. My grandfather, Ernesto Braña, was from Oviedo! My favorite subjects in school always were Math and History, I just love History, though I think most teachers are no good. My current passion is literature, though I do not earn my living with it (unfortunately). Some of my writings can be found at http://www.cabalgata.com
What else? I like many kinds of music, though I also sing like a cat. I have 6 kids (3 grown, 3 still growing) and two grandchildren, I've lived in several countries, I speak 5 languages, my current dream is to move to Barcelona one day. Pablo Neruda once said: "Soy omnivoro de sentimientos, de seres, de libros, de acontecimientos y batallas. Me comeria toda la tierra, me beberia todo el mar".
