About Me

I love to feel and connect deeply - with humans, animals and nature.

Nature is my favorite meditation centre. I love recharging myself during forest walks or by the lagoons and observe this beautiful flow and natural cycles.

Dance is my divine medicine. Mostly argentine tango and swing (lindy hop). I was a very active tango dancer for many years and used to pack my shoes for every trip. It used to be a wild addiction. Now I am finding my balance more in nature but embrace in dance and life is important to me.

Wine is my No. 1 drink and one of my biggest passions. I simply love the palette of its flavors, smells and the way it can open up my creative chacras. Savoring wine is like being on a journey itself ;)

I’ll never say no to a good party :)!

I like crafting (mostly jewelry) from silver, stainless steel. I am a big fan of upcycling.

I love being on the road, slow travel does it for me & meeting strangers. I really like to soak up the energy of the place, that genius loci thing… finding abandoned places mostly in nature where I can listen to all those wonderful nature sounds.

I am a freak stone lover. But anything with unique natural texture just sparks my interest.

I love barefoot walking. That invigorating feeling with pachamama.

Photography/videography are my lovelies too. Especially faces and trees. I am on a big mission with this one.

I admire indigenous cultures and their deep connection with nature, their knowledge and application of ancestral medicine.

I used to work as a bank-finance lawyer in an international law firm so Im pretty much down to earth as well.
I gave a notice before my 7-month trip to Colombia and Ecuador and now I am a freelance lawyer, looking for new life opportunities…

Cheers🍷😊
