CURRENT MISSION

Being happy, enjoy life, being in love with what I do for a living, make as many true friends as I can, go to as many places as possible!!!

ABOUT ME

Classical music is my life!! I am a slave of music but I am happy to be so. My second passion is traveling and everything related to it: photography, languages, food, arts, history, and different cultures. I am very curious and I love learning new things! I love and cherish my friends and I appreciate every minute I have with them!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Falling in love, that one beats all the others. It took a couple of weeks, and how amazing it is! Besides that, seeing the Foro Romano for the first time from one of the hills in Rome, it took me by surprise and left me speechless. Traveling and music usually do it for me!
