Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Discovering the unique story that every person I meet has to tell
ABOUT ME
I'm a very energetic person, who always needs to share new experiences with the people I meet! I dislike so much routine, and always need to have something special and exciting that happening in my life.
I'm right now doing my MA degree at the University of Waterloo in Global Governance, with concentration in International Human Rights. I'm mixing my professional background in journalism with my research that focusses on freedom of expression in context of conflicts.
I love travelling, taking time to observe people and what is going on around me. This is from travels that I take all my inspiration to write short-stories.
PHILOSOPHY
All the people that you meet have someting to teach you.
Follow your instinct.
Interests
Writing, reading, photography, sports, music, movies.
I'm a real sport addict, I'm a runner since I'm 9, now training for half-marathons and I love to complete my trainings with different sports such as cylcing, swmiming, yoga. I also try to do some trekking / hiking as often I have the chance.
