ABOUT ME

I enjoy the small things in life: snow or crispy autumn leaves creaking under your shoes, sunlight that filters through the leaves of trees (Komorebi), a perfectly baked chocolate moeulleux, floating in the ocean, nice architecture, books that take you to another world.

I like to take care of the people I love but as well to be taken care of. I am a rather quiet person but once I open up it can be a task to get me to shut up again :)

I enjoy feeling useful in one way or another, at home or while travelling.
