Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
try to make the world that little bit better by respecting nature and respecting each other
ABOUT ME
Since my youngest age I've been travelling a lot (my parents already had the travel virus) and moving from one place to another. Getting to know other people and cultures is so enriching! Through the years it made me understand the important things in life: making people around you happy, helping other people, making our Earth more livable for future generations by respecting and preserving nature... I want to contribute to that in every possible way and leave the smallest possible ecological footprint. I'm a non-smoker, vegetarian, love organic and healthy food and try to be a conscious consumer by not bying products from big multinationals that destroy our planet. I love nature and being outdoors, practice a lot of sports, especially in the sea. I got a passion for music and have been singing in bands for over 15 years. I believe work and career are not the most important thing in life and won't let it take over my life. And above all I want to enjoy life to the fullest together with my wonderful husband Geoffrey and our two lovely daughters of 1 and 3!
PHILOSOPHY
We can all change the world, starting with small things
You are what you eat
Never give up!
