Features : Intense and greedy for life! Since my dream is to go into space, I try to make my time on Earth feel like a space expedition! Filled with adventure, discovery and, above all, wonder.
Hobbies : If I could do everything, I'd be so happy! But then... I love sports to burn off my energy, I love anything creative, but above all I love music. Playing and listening to it.
Animal totem : Since I have no power over my animal totem, here are the ones the team gave me: Available Killer Whale and Erudite Chihuaha.... Finally, I like them!
Preferred color When I make a mandala, I never manage to use just one color... I want to use them all!
