I simply love to go for walks by the seaside and relax, listening to good music.  I love to travel, creating beautiful memories each time.  I love to keep a journal, because writing is my biggest passion.  In fact, that is why I dream to see children write their own stories one day, being better in their writing skills is the best gift I get at the end of each scholastic year.  I am a huge animal lover, mostly fond of dogs.
