ABOUT ME

I'm a small funny girl absolutely in love with world and life. Travelling is my passion. I love wild landscapes...glaciers, volcanos, rough waters...desert beaches, giant mountains..
I like watching the sun going down, laying on the beach listening to the wind...
I like breathing...!!
I like fire...I never get tired to watch it while it dances ...
I like losing myself in the beauty of stars...in the whiteness of snow..
I like simple things...and simple people.
I 'd like to live a simple life in the middle of nowhere..mmhh...Iceland...??? yes please!!!

PHILOSOPHY

"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."
