About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to find a place where my heart belongs... it happened that I left it in San Francisco.

ABOUT ME

I'm a harmless sarcastic, introspective romantic and extremely extravagant and polite girl. By the way: "I'm not an alcoholic, I'm a journalist!".

PHILOSOPHY

Listen to "Friends" by Band of Skulls.
