Affiliations

Things I love to do are traveling and meeting places and people. Culture is an important part for me to be able to create and share with the public. My creativity is based on my feelings and life experiences. Being optimistic is important to survive.

France taught me to stop being afraid and be careful and that the impossible is possible.

Hawaii taught me to find my inner peace and that it's okay to take a break. That effort also has its rewards and that it doesn't always come from someone else.

Mexico taught me to work, dream, create, explore, protect and take care of my happiness as a person. To trust in the possibility that not everything needs a logical explanation to win.
