CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
Its kind of hard to describe oneself; open- minded, funny, gentle, always interested in learning, love different cultures, different people, different countries :) passionate about difference basically :) I adore languages :)
I do like to think that I am happy and I like to make people around me happy too. I believe that everyone deserves respect. We must be optimistic :) Life is beautiful =)
My favourite hobby is traveling and meeting new people :)
PHILOSOPHY
"Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today." Malcolm X :) I have a dream !! Martin Luther King :)
I believe that one day we will live in the same world, but with better people. People that care not only of themselves, but also of everyone around.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The 6 day trek to Roraima mountain, which felt like the biggest physical challenge that I have had to date. I am very glad that I have done it, as it is a truly incredible experience, but it was quite hard ! I am proud of myself and everyone in my group.
