CURRENT MISSION

I'm interested in giving and receiving what cannot be bought - simplicity, awareness, loving-kindness and inner peace.

ABOUT ME

I consider myself a calm, sensible and easygoing person who allows things to unfold.
I appreciate profound and honest conversations but also need my quiet moments. I'm observative and sensible.
Love to dance.
I believe we truly don't need much to be happy or at least satisfied with our life.

PHILOSOPHY

Live to be a better person by knowing myself and by meeting other people.
Respect nature and others. Improve your life by improving other's.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Canopy at MonteVerde, Costa Rica (sliding 100m above the rainforest - amazing!)
Witnessing a giant leatherback sea turtle nesting at Tortuguero. I'll never forget that night!
Skydiving - it's the rush of a lifetime!
A solo travel - 2 amazing weeks in Brazil, hiking in Lençóis do Maranhão, meeting people and falling in love again with such an incredible piece of land.
Being a mother. (It’s an ongoing process)

Teach, Learn, Share

I practice Vipassana meditation almost everyday.
I have a plant-based diet but I still eat some poultry. I love fish and seafood. Green juices at breakfast are a must.
