She has also worked for the Doctors without Borders. Not only as a musician but did everything! except the doctor part though(smile. And Happa, the baby daughter, well she loves to go outside, meet people, watch the sunset, and loves taking a bath. But she has to cuddled to go to sleep.

We love music, art, literature, nature and meeting people. Especially you, who were interested in us enough to read our profile.
