What I like
I love interior design, therefore one of my hobbies is to decorate my houses. Traveling is another passion. Then I love sailing and trekking, because my daily life is quite busy and I am a "city lady." During the leisure time, I love the peace of the sea and the countryside or mountains, and take billions of photos. And, I also have a lot of fun with dancing.
