About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy my youth and share my experiences with interesting people, and learn from different cultures.

ABOUT ME

Passionate about people, cultures, art and nature. Currently doing my master in Communication and Sustainable Agriculture in Wageningen - Netherlands. But also working for an independent art magazine with friends.
Cinema, theatre and photography are some of my big passions and I am eager to discover new names, techniques and performances. Also, I like to keep my body active and sporting indoor (gymnastics, capoeira, spinning) and outdoor (hiking, surfing, snowboard, climbing, biking).
Will soon travel to Kyoto for 3 months to conduct my fieldwork. Excited to learn more about the Japanese way of life and its millenary wisdom.

PHILOSOPHY

"I am what I am: an individual, unique and different, with a lineal history of an ancestral promptings and urgings, a history of dreams, desires, and of special experiences, of all of which I am the sum total.

I consider myself a citizen of the world."

Charles Chaplin

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Summer 2016 I went on a 3 days biking trip between Rennes - Saint Malo - Mont Saint Michel. Amazing for my eyes but too sore for my legs :)
Summer 2017 I was part of great summer schools about food and sustainability. First in France with incredible people from all over Europe and US, where we came up with strategies to encourage sustainable recipes for public schools and hospitals. The best part is that 3 professional chefs from the US brought our ideas to life and we had a great gastronomy experience. Second in Denmark with 1000 people from allover the world working on solutions to foster the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Meeting all these people engaged in amazing food projects showed me there is a lot going on to make this world better, each and every day.
