About Me

CURRENT MISSION

try to learn as much as possible - about myself, about the world, about culture, about the people next to me. And to enjoy that I am alive, whatever that means!!!

ABOUT ME

something between daydreamer and good organized manager of myself. something between thoughtful and extroverted.
Curious, excited of discovering new things. Passioned about language, photography and carefully observed documentary films.

PHILOSOPHY

This world is so full of differences that probably life won't never be boring.
