CURRENT MISSION

Laugh. Love. Learn.

ABOUT ME

I'm dynamic, sociable, and curious. I like travelling, meeting new people, and discovering other cultures (well, obviously, since I'm on CS :)). I've visited several countries in Europe and went to Africa twice. For some reason I tend to move to a new city every couple of years or so. Cities I have lived in so far: Bologna and Turin (Italy), Barcelona (Spain), and Vancouver (Canada). My current city is Toronto. Who knows where I'll be next! Things/places I really love: books, coffee, olives, swimming (especially in the Mediterranean), beaches, cooking with someone else, listening to music while cooking, bearded men, sunshine, good wine, travelling, Sardinia, watching movies at the theatre, dancing, libraries, whatever my grandma cooks, smiles, dogs, Barcelona, strangers who smile at you, festivals, colours, hugs, looking at photos, leaves falling, sending and receiving postcards, old theatres.

PHILOSOPHY

Be positive and never stop learning!
