I was born in maracaibo, the hottest city of venezuela.
my mother and my sister say that I was very sweet from 0 to 7 years old, a bit weard from 8 to 11, kind of arrogant till 17 and quite nice just the year before I left home; but always a good student at the school. at the age of 18, I moved to caracas to study mass media communication at the central university of venezuela, there I did also jogging, athletics, singing, aerobic… and, in my 4th year of university studies, I discovered contemporary dance. at the age of 33, I moved to vienna to share the life with an austrian guy whom I had met in venezuela when I was 29, and who makes my soul smile until today. I am settled in vienna, my family lives in venezuela and in vienna; my friends are spread out all over the world. I love cooking, performing, singing, teaching, watching any kind of performance, traveling, beers…
I hardly swim...
