Hi! I‘m Via and I study Psychology at the University of Vienna. I was born and raised in the Philippines because my dad is Filipino and my mom‘s austrian :) which means I have a bit of experience with mixed cultures!! I love reading and watching shows and films
recently started traveling a bit more with a friend and I‘ve been enjoying getting to visit so many new places and people 🌻
