ABOUT ME

Hi There! I am a 23 year old, crossing the world so now and then. But now, after 3 years doing this and that, living here and there, I became a bit more serious again. Since September 2012 I study climate and environmental studies at The Hague University. It’s not really a Greenpeace-activist kinda like study orientation, but I do learn the basics about climate change and how to build the world in a more sustainable way!
In my free time I play capoeira (Brazilian martial art) and do a lot of salsa dancing. You will often find me in Havana's, Hemingway's, Caribbean's or whatever those Latin bars are called. When possible, I try to save money for travelling.
Further, I loveeeeeee food, have a passion for good coffee, go crazy on beautiful Brazilian rhythms and have a weakness for art imagery, mostly made by a camera.
My character is easy and very social. Can get along with a lot of different people, cause I respect them!
