I have several passions: discovering new cultures, learning languages, exploring nature, climbing and eating well, of course.

I still want to see the world and discover different lifestyles, because diversity is what fascinates me most.

Favourite quote: “Do not ask who I am and do not ask me to remain the same” (Michel Foucault)
