I am a life student and life traveller. Finished with my studies and currently working in advertising. Moved to part time and trying out experience in the kitchen working as a junior chef.
I like learning new languages, cultures and new people. Activities I like are DJing, yoga, running, reading, cooking and making new meaningful connections! Learning/experiencing consciousness

Parlo italiano bene :) Pure so cucinare!
