About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am travelling around India till 23th February 😊

Life is short and there are so many place and people and culture in this earth that is worth to know how much as possible of them :)
Travel will open your mind and your soul 🙏

ABOUT ME

I grew up in North Italy in a seaside town close to France. I have one brother, he is 2 years younger than me.
At 19 years old I moved to Turin to study psychology.
I found my passion for handicraft and this is actually my job, I design and handmade jewelry.
I'm a Hoop Dancer and a Roller Skater.
I have a lovely dog I rescue from a shelter 9 years ago, he is an english setter and I share him with my ex boyfriend (one week is with me and one week is with him).

PHILOSOPHY

Respect yourself, respect others, respect nature.
Life is too short for not doing what you like.
Be the person you would like to meet.
