About Me

CURRENT MISSION

coffee or drinks, they taste better with a good conversation!

ABOUT ME

I am a passionate traveller; a lover of Nature and the outdoors and sports in general. I am a graduate from linguistics and languages, but my main interests are now cultural anthropology, identity and gender studies. I appreciate creativity, tolerance and curiosity. I think a touch of madness is what makes us human and enables us to enjoy life. A sense of humour is what makes it perfect :D

PHILOSOPHY

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”
