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! I like colors that remind me of places (the library in the Clue game), clothing styles (the costumes in the Indiana Jones films) or even landscapes (the midnight blue sky with its twinkling stars).
