ABOUT ME

I love to travel and meet new people. I am a photography student and I'm in my final year of the Art Academy. I also love to take pictures of people in their inviroment. My father lives in Brazil and has lived in Suriname and other country's in South America. I have visited him a few times. For me it's a challenge to get to know people in a relatively short time. I also am the singer and bass player in a band.
