Wild, crazy, loving.
Generally happy, love food, love people, suuuuper last minute but ready to do fun stuff with the shortest notice possible, I looove learning - from other people, experiences and books, ready to talk to any random stranger, simply in love with life.
PHILOSOPHY
The purpose of life is living, play, make it a vivid adventure, act with your heart.
"Measure success by the number of hugs you give and smiles you bring"
I believe that human interactions are the most important aspect of life, sharing experiences with others, being self and empowering others to be who they are, supporting and encouraging each other to have more amazing life experiences, that's what life is about to me.
