Friday 8am-7:30pm

I love traveling. Since I was a kid my biggest dream has been to travel around the world. To meet all the different types of cultures and people. I love to know more about people's stories, and in the same way I love to hear, I love to talk. So you can always expect to find me chatting and laughing around.

I am passionate about exploring new things and discovering all the nature can give to us! So in summer we might find each other hiking or camping!
