CURRENT MISSION

The Brain Frontier

ABOUT ME

Love reading, languages, plants and exploring the woods.
Water is the most beautiful thing of all, in its many forms.
We love to ski, go down rivers in ALL kinds of boats and backpack.

PHILOSOPHY

Love life for its variety, for the beauty one can find in it every day. For the senses, for the stimulation that comes from creative energy.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
