About Me:
Walking in the rain aimlessly-packing up my suitcase and just leaving-running through streets, fields, airports- cuddling up with a blankie and some hot co-co- writing poetry suddenly- bursting into song- guitar-picking woman time- writing lyrics for a melody- jumping in puddles and splattering people much to their civil irritation-play fighting- painting portraits of the world with belief- writing epiphanies and thoughts, novels, scripts and films- chilling with friends around a shisha in a dimly lit room- partying with anyone, anywhere as long as it's loud and wild- running- making a film out of life- watching films with effect- embracing friends and family- falling over-staring up at the glorious sky-daydreaming, reading, singing, loving life, in awe of nature and humanity, having projects and studying with passion...Oh and watching the stars for hours on end on a hilltop by a church on an island off the coast of Santiago de Cuba...
Born and raised in Brussels, daughter of a Welsh patriot and a Cuban bittersweetheart, I am not one of those persons who really has a place to call home. So "citoyenne du monde" is my preferred term, having lived and travelled in a ridiculously amusing amount of places. The last two years I have studied in Beijing and London whilst travelling back and forth to South Africa to explore Shangan culture and for humanitarian reasons.
At present I am studying a pluridisciplinary and multilingual course in politics in France. On my horizon is Brazil and I dream of studying a Masters in New York City, an old love affair.

Favorite Quotes:
"He who seeks rest finds boredom. He who seeks work finds rest. "- Dylan Thomas
"Only when the love of power surrenders to the power of love will we then at last know peace."-Jimi Hendrix
"If I have the gift of prophecy and can understand all secrets and every form of knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains but have no love, I am nothing. Even if I give away everything that I have and sacrifice myself, but have no love, I gain nothing. Love is always patient;love is always kind;love is never envious or arrogant with pride(....) She bears up under everything, believes the best in all, there is no limit to her hope, and she will never fall. Love never fails. (...)Right now three things remain:faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13
"It is the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. It is the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance. It is the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give. And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live."- Bette Midler
" Le vin est semblable à l'homme : on ne saura jamais jusqu'à quel point on peut l'estimer et le mépriser, l'aimer et le haïr, ni de combien d'actions sublimes ou de forfaits monstrueux il est capable. " Charles Baudelaire
"The difficult task of knowing another soul is not for young gentlemen whose consciousness is chiefly made up of their own wishes"-George Eliot
"The only thing needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"-Edmund Burke
"La terre entière est notre foyer et tous les hommes nos frères,"-Hannah Arendt
"Each looked at the other as if they had been two flowers which had opened then and there"-George Eliot
"When one falls inlove, one begins by deceiving oneself then the rest of the world. That is what the world calls a romance"- Oscar Wilde
"If a lion could speak, we would not understand him."-Wittgenstein
"Reason is the slave of the passions"-Hume
"L'homme est né libre et partout il est dans les fers"-Rousseau
"La loi est dure mais l'aigle ne chasse pas les mouches"-MC Solaar
"!Hasta la victoria siempre!"
"And I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts;A sense sublime
Of something far more deeply interfused
Whose light is the dwelling of the setting suns
And the round ocean, and the living air
And the blue sky, and in the mind of man
A motion and a spirit, that impels
All thinking things and all objects of all thought"..."Lines Written a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey" W.Wordsworth
"Rage, rage against the dying of the light" Dylan Thomas
"Only when the love of power surrenders to the power of love will we then at last know peace."-Jimi Hendrix
