CURRENT MISSION

To talk to interesting people that love life

ABOUT ME

OUR SOFA IS CLOSED AGAIN. We are expecting our second baby in June, and with a ballooning belly and a jealous toddler, we won't be great hosts.

Since I cannot travel much with a teacher's wage, I like talking to people who come to visit my country. I love teaching my kids to enjoy every moment and to find something interesting in every person.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, but it is beautiful. Why spoil it with bad moments.
