I love to travel. I spent summer 2008 in Tanzania, IAP 2009 in Korea, and summer 2009 in Tanzania (June) and France (July-September), with some weekends in Barcelona and Geneva. I'm currently suffering from Paris withdrawal. I love to cook and picnic by a river. My favorite composers are Rachmaninov and Prokofiev; my favorite author is Isabel Allende.
