Interests

Travel, food and wine are the most important things in my life!

I enjoy travelling, meeting some random strangers, having some interesting conversations over a couple of drinks :)

I love food, no matter in a local eateries or a fine dining restaurants, I just love it! I appericate hard work from chefs and I always finish everything on my plate;

I am not a sommelier nor a wine maker, but I looked forward to be one one day. I like viticulture and oenology, the magic of turing berries into delicous wine impresses me a lot!
