About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoy life and help others to do the same

ABOUT ME

I like to live every day at a time and enjoy as much as possible not worrying too much. I really love traveling, preferably alone and meeting of people from all over the world. I love nature and animals in general, going on adventures, parties, raves.

I really enjoy trying out new foods and learning about other cultures.

I love the ocean as I grew up really close to it (Caribbean) so I like water sports a lot. I started sailing at age 9 and I still love it.

Snowboarding, kayaking, kitesurfing, mountain biking, rock climbing are also in my top 10.
PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short and time goes too fast so live in the present and don't be only thinking about tomorrow.
