About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world and share it!

ABOUT ME

I'm a professional geomatic analyst, an amator photographer, and a mother of two. I love to travel alone, with friends as well as with my family. I like to make a lot of plans but I also like to let me "drive by the wind" to explore new things, places and people that I would never have imagine to existe. I also love geocaching, which usually leads me to somewhere unexpected and very interesting.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn, teach, discover, share, love.
