CURRENT MISSION

To meet up with my expectations

ABOUT ME

Well, I could say that my studies define me and influence my personality. Besides my interest in humamities and social sciences, I play the piano and I swim everyday. I love cinema (I am going to the movies every week), theater and literature. I am always listening to music (film and classical music) while I am studying. I also love sea! My favorite colours are blue, green, and white.

I love talking with people, making new friends, sharing experiences. I am enthousiastic and passionate about those things that I am interested in. I usually try to do my best in all of my endeavors, being optimistic as much as it gets.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem!!!!

Life is a journey!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have ever done in my lifetime, and I keep doing it, is living in different cities in Europe for relatively short periods of time (mainly for studying reasons).

However, I am not in search of spectular moments. Every day of our lives could be amazing and unique in its way as long as we realize that beauty is hidden under small things.
