About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living the present moment with a big smile and thinking in a sustainable way!

ABOUT ME

I am a relaxed girl who likes to listen to the people. The first time that I was living abroad I realised that only you are the owner of your life. We can choose what we want to do and how we want to do it. I decided then that one day I would make a great trip. After several years trying to convince friends or couples, I knew it was the moment to go out alone. And I'm delighted. The trip was spectacular, abd the feelings and memories that remained in my memory are really great too!! I was 6 months in Asia... Now I am living in Melbourne, so kind of continuing this nice adventure called LIFE.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is like a river, just let you flow, and if you have some difficulties, try to listen the wind, it is really wise.
