About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to escape the office world.

ABOUT ME

In a word, I'm playful. I am passionate about working towards solutions to poverty, human and women's rights.

I am active, i bike, play capoeira, practice acroyoga dance with a hula hoop and play with fire. I love learning new skills and trying out new things.

I'm always up for a good discussion or debate. I'm have strong convictions, but I am open to opposing positions or just the friendly explorations of issues, solutions, and theories.

I love speaking and learning new languages.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the journey, don't worry about the destination.
