CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying the wonders of life and being grateful

ABOUT ME

I'm a very energetic person, both at work and in my other daily activities.

Maybe that's why I'm studying Eco-Energy Engineering.

My 4th semester was an exchange semester, which I attended in Lucerne, Switzerland.

I love:
- being outdoors
- uncontaminated natural environment
- mountains, lakes, waterfalls, the Sea
- experiencing new things
- doing things for the first time
- landscape in different seasons
- watching sunrises and sunsets
- being active
- doing something crazy and extraordinary
- going on long distance hiking tours (pilgrim way to Santiago de Compostela)
- playing with my cats
- cooking and having a good meal

I don't like:
constant rain, fog
irritating noise
stinging insects (especially wasps, because I'm allergic to them)
feeling hungry (can be a bad experience for the people around; but normally I always have an emergency cereal bar with me)
waiting

PHILOSOPHY

You can do what you want to do - Do it!
