ABOUT ME

I am a person who needs to live intensely, open-minded and free. Yoga is my break to breathe. I love writing and reading,books are some of my most valuable possessions. I'm crazy about red lipstick, searching the tide pools and roof gardens... I had the luck to make travelling into my job, as I have a need to wander around new places wherever my feet and heart take me. I love sinking into theatre seats all by myself to get carried away.I believe magic is all around us. I feel like I'm never doing enough for this world. I always feel the urge to live with an open heart and connect deeply with other souls. I adore interaction with all kinds of people, and talking, drinking, partying or road tripping with open-minded and happy people is my bliss. Oh, and I miss a dog.

PHILOSOPHY

Never hold back. We are all connected.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite movies of all time: Cinema Paradiso. Paris, Texas. The Great Dictator.
So many books, don't know where to start...Hemmingway, Paulho Coelho, Sylvia Plath, Paul Aster, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, and all kinds of other classics, Anais Nin, Jonathan Safran Foer, F.Scott Fitzgerald aso...
Poets: Fernando Pessoa, Bukowski, Whitman, Gerrit Komrij,
And about music, it really feeds the soul. It is one of the most important things in my life, I'm open for many , don't even know where to start! I love Jazz, blues, (Electro) swing (Parov Stelar) folk (Bob Dylan, Nick Drake, Neil Young), rock (The Velvet Underground, The Black Keys..), Spanish guitar/ Tango...and many many more! In Lisbon, I fell in love with Fado, a traditional Portuguese music style, and the great Artist Zeca Afonso...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Little and small things touch my heart every day...and the big things are merely highlighting my years....
I feel in love with Lisboa...
I travelled to Greece, which I already travelled and loved, and saw the meteora (monasteries in the mountains on top of steep rocks) I was truly amazed! Greece in general is a wonderful,warm (weather and people),beautiful country with great food!
The Muir redwood Forest near San Francisco silenced me, and seeing a butterfly hatch in the conservatory of flowers at the Golden Gate park was truly magical...San Francisco is GROOVY.
Paris touches my heart every time in so many tiny, sparkly ways.
And then, India..a far and strange land that made me feel at home...for all those wanderers maybe you understand the feeling of belonging in the least expected places...
