About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live, laugh, love. And travel! Hope very much to get to Bali, Mali and India one day!

ABOUT ME

I love travelling, exploring undiscovered territory (or at least not yet discovered by me), meeting new people, talking in different languages, learn new languages, foreign food, ...

I love art and culture (from the Classics to Modern Art and conceptual design, photography, architecture (Barcelona&Gaudi, Milan&its Duomo!, Oslo& the Opera-house),cultfilms, shortfilms, youtubecreations (Okay go!),
Literature of all times (Arundhati Roy, Husseini, Hemmingway, Rushdie).

I love music: reggae, drum'n base, dupstep, rock, R&B, rap, Damian Marley, Jack Johnson, M.I.A, REY-REY, Buraka som sistema, Nneka, Janelle Monae, Midnite, Eminem, Alborosie, Snoop Dog, Patrice, Pati Smith, Black Box Revelation, Mr Scruff, Justin Timberlake, Sizzla, Jah Generation, Pura Vida, ska, Roisin Murphy, Erykay BAdu, Jamie Lidell, Queen Ifriqah, Tiken jah Fakoly, Chinese Man, ...

I love parks, latent locations to chill or pick-nick, sunny squares, desolate deserts (go to Morocco and experience the life of the wandering touareks exploring the limits of infinite sandparts (by camel, :) ), cities (from cosy to cosmopolitan, from shopping to nightlife, from tranquility to the exiting chaos of the metro), idyllic islands ( <3 Kuna Yala, Sardegna!), ...

PHILOSOPHY

Let's say I'm very interested in all kinds of philosophy!
Nature, Vegitarianism, Culture, Meditation, Lets-Save-the-world ideas, Oxfam, Stop Global Warming!, Health, An apple a day keeps the doctor away (3 apples in my case)

"Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing."

Arundhati Roy

But I know, I'm still young and therefore probably very naive :)
