About Me

I am passionate about languages and psychology and have been exploring various cultures and learning languages for over a decade. I am quite open-minded and adaptable to various environments, situations and social groups. I generally believe that the question is not “whether” something can be achieved, but “how”.

Next to traveling I am currently actively developing my translation business.

“Caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar."
