Hale, a 20 y/o struggling student of medicine. Most of the time, stay-at-home-cat-mom. Enjoys cinema quite a lot that going to local film festivals has become an obligation to her. Joking aside, i like travelling, reading books, playing my little tunes in my piano and my bigger ones in saxophone :D Really into learning about new cultures, meeting people and especially learning as much as i can from them. Recently i'm trying to learn Italian and planning my trip to Italy and Spain this summer after my internship in Romania.
