About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to read all the pages from the book of the world

ABOUT ME

I'm a fun translator and psychologist who cannot chose if time is better spent cooking, learning foreign languages or saving the world from the evil forces of boredom.

PHILOSOPHY

Add some spices, mix, blend in a few colors.. Repaint, don't reheat..
