About Me

Well, I usually dislike writing this kind of descriptions, but I see the point to it... I guess I am sociable, laid back, responsible, practical, sarcastic, a bit of a (fine, an unsufferable) know-it-all, with selective patience, with many pet-peeves, curious, and honest. I enjoy reading, pretty much any kind of music, travelling, and talking about travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a very eclectic music taste, what I'm listening to will depend on my mood and when you meet me.
I am a big fan of movies but I haven't seen much lately
With books, I like pink novels, classics, and cosy murder

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I didn't actually do this, but technically I took part in it...
When my mom was 8 months pregnant with me, she was forced to evacuate my town as it was getting flooded. She left my house with my dad and four siblings, ages 3 to 14, by car, reached an area where the road was already flooded and continued on a horse-drawn cart, when it got too deep they moved on to boat and then again to a cart to finally reach an airport. They left the disaster area by plane and moved to the capital. Two weeks later I was born.
I think that was a pretty neat, albeit stressful for my mum, way to arrive to the world. I used pretty much every means of transportation before even being born.
