About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Be the change you wish to see in the world" - Gandhi

ABOUT ME

I am a positive, curious and open-minded person who loves to travel, to cook (and eat), to hanging out with friends, to have a good laugh, to drink good wine and good beer, to meet new people, to walk around in a city with no precise goal and observe what is around me, to dance...

I'm working as a transport planning engineer and I'm also studying in management.
