CURRENT MISSION
Life is great. And food is soooooo good!
ABOUT ME
I have to say that I am someone who enjoys most things in life. Everyday, I try to learn from what I experience - traveling or at home - and I think we have little time in life, so we should use it all! I have real passions for what I like and do: international development, health, dance and arts, music, politics and justice, outdoor and nature. I am trying to be a balanced person, with a balanced life.
I am also politically and socially involved - not only I am committed to learn and be aware of what is happening in the world, but I also try to be actively involved in various projects around social justice.
We gotta have to work hard to change the world, but we will do it. In the meanwhile, let's have fun!!
