About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get out of my comfort zone.

ABOUT ME

Facing everyday in life with a smile and a positive attitude is something really important for me.
Overcome life's challenges and surpass myself in this journey is a constant mission. Happy moments, beautiful places and smiling people are my continuous search.

PHILOSOPHY

" Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain!"

GO. And if it gives you fear go anyway.
