About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find the real home

ABOUT ME

I'm a journalist but I like to think of myself more as a writer :) Currently I work in the Social Media Department of a Travel Agency (go travel!). I like to meet new people, see new places and rediscover the ones I already know.

I'm kind of shy at first, but if we have common interests or if you are outgoing, I will get comfortable in a jiffy and will end up talking about anything.

PHILOSOPHY

Well, I can tell that I'm a calm person, I take thing s seriously, and I'm pretty responsible. I'm a nice person in spite of being kind of moody sometimes, a littel bit grumpy also. I'm impatient, but with good reasons, for example I don't like impunctual people, I think that arriving late is like a slap in the face. I think friendship is a great, valuable thing, as well as love. I like the people who's faithfull to their friends and couple, without that, you're nothing.

MUSIC! I love music, and photography, those two are my passions. I also enjoy books, travelling, visiting new places, discovering people and new cultures... I like to dance, to spend time with nice people, I love to walk around the city, see places and people, and keep an eye on anything new that's here.

I love languages, I'm studying them right now and I intend to learn as many as I can.
