When you were a kid, who(m) did you want to become? Are you on your way there now?
I’ve dreamed of becoming a pilot for a long time as I loved airplanes and flights. My path is now far from it. Yet, I’d love to make trips across other cities instead, which is always so refreshing to me :)
My favourite Book:
My favourite book is “The Sixth Sleep” by Bernard Werber. It makes me think of the regrets from old days but, eventually they turn into nothing and I get focused on living in the now to the full.

What would you tell your younger yourself?
Listen to yourself more, take it seriously whom you want to be and be confident in you going for it. Be encouraging to your people, but be generous to those who do you wrong and just keep going. Don’t forget that I love you :) and enjoy your life more!

I cannot eat spicy food, so my friends call me ‘spicy-idiot’.
