About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spread my wings

ABOUT ME

I have done a few things and still will need at least another life to continue the endless discoveries that have opened to me. I moved to Brighton Uk 18 years ago, not only for the weather and stayed because of the amazing quirky characters and dear friends I have encountered along the way! It's a beautiful town, close to London and Gatwick airport (so very easy to get by).I have studied Sculpture, I work a little (not too much as I like my freedom). I dream a lot and try to follow my dreams. In 2010 I cycled in Brittany and volunteered in eco building for a month. This summer I am planning to travel to Sweden and do some wwoofing.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your dreams and never give up!
