About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Flow... Learn.... Create.... Feel.... Love... Enjoy.... Share.... Travel.... Smile..... Dance.... Breathe .... Live!!

PHILOSOPHY

Love yourself, love the things you do, love the people around you. Take care of all that.

Less is more... Wealth comes from the inside. Nothing from the outside belongs to you forever, it could disappear when you least expect it.

Everything in life must flow!!!! Even when you take the hardest and less travelled road... flow like a river, at the end everything will happen.

Live your life like there is no tomorrow. Don´t take anything for granted ... you never know what is going to happen.

All the things in life are easier with a positive thinking. Bad things exist, but you can learn something useful from them.

Love Love Love!!!

Keep a smile in your face, it makes you more beautiful :D :D :D :D

-Music-
Love concerts and live music.
I listen to music every single day, I cannot live without it.
I spend a lot of time searching for either old or new songs, and I like to share them with friends. If I like a song I don´t get tired of listening to it again and again.

I can´t say what is my favorite group, it depends of the emotional state of being at the time.... but I enjoy almost every kind of music :-D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Senegal and Gambia, África, without nothing, just with my camera, -my luggage was lost in the airport- and lived for a month in a native senegalese tribe with people from there!!!

I became one of them at once!!! It was a gorgeous experience!!!! :D

I travelled there twice, although the second time I had my luggage with me :)
