CURRENT MISSION

Don´t be afraid to start over. It´s a brand new opportunity to rebuild what you really want.
Finding the way back to my roots; finding my nest ;)

ABOUT ME

I enjoy nature, being creative, painting, face painting, travelling (=freedom), laughing, surprises, sunshine, beaches, waterfalls, hiking, exotic fruits, making new friends, photography, breakfasts (the most important meal for me) and my wonderful husband and our little girl ;-). I love having long, relaxing breakfasts with family and friends, music and a good book. There is no better way to start the day!
I love driving, just for the sake of driving, even without having a specific destination.
I love having fun, being adventurous, crazy, creative and always need something to do.
I enjoy a good cup of coffee and exploring new places.
But, most of all, I just love spending time with my family - come and join me ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

Keep reaching for the stars.
It's never too late to start living your dream.
Be happy enjoying the simple things in life!!!
