​I am​ a dreamer.

​I am restless; I need to move, to travel, to discover, but to return. I love to laugh, because fits of laughter are micromoments free of worry and full of promise. I love to cook, to try new recipes, to forget them and to try them again for the second first time. I am intuitive; I trust my gut and it somehow never leads me astray. I am a scientist; I study the brain but follow the heart. I am a perfectionist; it is my best and worst trait. I am a polyglot; I love how learning multiple languages opens windows onto the world and oneself. 

I am a coffee-addict and wine-lover. I can never get enough of either. I am a writer - I fill notebooks with no respect for lines or margins. I can't stand endings, but know that, without them, there could never be new beginnings. I believe in life's seasons and tides. I don't believe in fitting into boxes. I have a neurological trait called synesthesia - my entire world is colored. Every sound, word and movement has its own hue. Besides my camera, I make an effort to always carry three things with me: hope, courage and a notebook. I think profound solace can be found in feeling grateful. I am sometimes wary of the mysteries and uncertainties life brings with its unexpected twists, but trust that things will always play out in a way that best serves us. I put my heart into everything, some might say "too much" of it. But my sentimentality and openness make me who I am; they make me see the world differently, and I wouldn't trade them in for anything.
