I travel to share with those human beings that cross my path, to learn from them and take a small piece of every place and every person with me.

I love photography, foreign languages, maps, the smell of old books, of recently cut grass and filtered coffee. I love people who laugh loud and spontanously and fill you with happiness, those long and deep conversations, and sisterhood.
