ABOUT ME

I am an enthusiast and active person, very curious, I like to learn new things all the time and I enjoy a lot the beauty of life and of all those things that surrounds us, especially the nature.

I have many interests in arts, sports, and spirituality… I love to have a good chat in front of a cup of tea. I also like almost all cuisines… And I am a good chef, or at least I enjoy cooking a lot!

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Try to learn as much as you can always. Understand yourself and those whose surrounds you. Smile and be kind to everyone. Practice ahimsa and satya.
