About me
I am a compulsive traveler, having visited more than 100 countries. I always loved photography and decided to re-start it a couple of years ago. I particularly enjoy portraits, be it in paintings (an area where I have absolutely no talent) or photography.
Beyond photography, I work as Senior official for the European Union, where I try to contribute to the peaceful and prosperous unity of the European continent.
