About Me
One day a friend of mine told me to watch a video called "Maturity", from Diego Freire, and she said the guy was talking like he was just describing me on the beginning of his video.. So when I am here trying to talk about "who I am" I could just think about how this guy was so perfect on describing "who I am" that I will just translate and use his words: “Let’s imagine that life is a song and each person is listening to it on the volume that best fits for them… The problem is that my volume switch is broken… Life is always on the top for me… The good parts of the song are REALLY good… But the bad parts are REALLY bad also… I am intense, I don’t know what to do, I was born like this.. Everything for me is like a “Boom”! There is nothing on lower volume…”
In the end he says that "maturity is when a person learns how to use this intensity with wisdom" and I can say this is they way on which I am walking today! I am always trying to experience something different, to challenge myself, to break the old concepts I have and to see everything that life has to offer.. And there is no better way to do this other than meeting new people and getting to know where they come from, their culture, their history, their religion, their feelings... When we put our energy to try to understand the other we are automatically and unconsciously beginning to understand ourselves! But much more than that we are just cultivating good seeds for the future.. We are spreading respect and love and showing to the world that beauty only exists in the contrast!
So in this way seeking for happiness, freedom and wisdom I have discovered one of my biggest passions: the passion for travelling and the passion for everything envolved on this mix of feelings...

Music, Movies, and Books
I am really eclectic when it comes to movies and music and it's easier to say what I don't like rather than what I like...
I can say: Horror movies? NO WAYYYY.. I watch movies that will make me feel happy or the ones that will teach me something, so whatever that is making me nervous, sad or afraid it's not going to be included on my routine... This is kind of nonsense for me..
About music? From Classic to Rock, from Arabic to Samba, from Bachata to MPB, and the list can keep going forever.. Please, let's exclude Heavy Metal because it makes my head busy and lost.. The music I listen will vary from my humor and mood, so I can go from Country Music to Relaxing Yoga songs without any problem...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have done some amazing things, but when I think about them I realize that I have soooooooo much more to do that the list is only in the beggining...
But let's say that doing paragliding in Oludeniz and jumping from Babadağ Mountain from a High of 2.000m was really something epic.. Feeling all the freedom that the body could phisically experience is awesome...
Climbing on Pamukkale with no shoes when it was all covered by ice was also something I could not belive I was doing... And you know what? In the beggining you think you are not able to do it, and in the end you feel the pleasure of getting to the top and feeling how gifted you are for having this chance...
