About Me

leaving my footprints everywhere I go.... Im an openminded, creative and social person. My friends say im kind, loving and easy going. traveling is one of my favorite things to do. I love to experience new cultures, people, countries. Recently started cycling and now on my first long cycling trip to Italy! I try to live a healthy and fit life with doing as little harm to the environment as I can. Im always looking for ways to challenge myself. I studied product design and engineering. being able to create my imagination is my great passion. I have my own creative studio where I also design jewelry. Oh and I love dancing! And nature(ofcourse) connecting with nature brings us all back to the roots of our existance. Photography is also something I really enjoy. To capture moments of how I see the world around me. I learned to take life as it comes and get to know myself little by little through my environment and the people around me. Life really is a gift! free your mind and explore!use your imagination!
