ABOUT ME

I am full of enthusiasm and never back down from an interesting project or activity. I will do it smiling and trying to find the silver lining whatever the situation is.

I like to be surprised, either by life, others, or even myself.

Je suis pleine d'enthousiasme pour tout projet et j'aime être surprise, autant par moi-même que les autres (:

Life is basically a jazz song so let's improvise.
