About Me

It's hard to see me stressed with something. I love to travel, to meet new people and get in touch with new cultures. I am curious about almost everything, which makes me ask a lot of questions (I'm a journalist, afterall...).

PHILOSOPHY

Always look to the bright side. I'm a very positive person. Even when something goes wrong or I'm in a bad position, I try my best to look at the bright side of the situation in order to turn the tables. I believe if you are in peace with yourself you are in peace with the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting drunk in Atlantic City and having to catch a bus by myslef to my house in Brigantine, waking up at the harbor with the sunlight on my face, having to find my house by foot (still drunk) and still being alive: that's amazing.
