I come from a multicultural family and spend much of my life bouncing between countries with my five-year-old Spanish Water Dog as my reluctant travel companion. I work as a chemist on a research vessel, secretly dreaming of writing a bestseller. Cars, especially Formula 1, make my heart race, while esotericism and tattoos feed my curiosity. Life, for me, is collecting stories, embracing chaos, and occasionally questioning why I thought a research vessel sounded like a good idea.
