About Me
I am a great film buff! Big fan of black and white movies. I am also an avid reader of novels and mystic books. When I am not working, I love to travel, visit new cultures and meet new people. My biggest dream is to visit every corner of this big planet. Besides that, I also practice Ashtanga Yoga twice per week; a 20 minute morning meditation is, definiy, the best start of my day!
