Art & culture, travels
I'm interested about the beauty in all arts: architecture, painting, sculpture, theatre, musicals.
As a travel agent, I like the world and meeting people, using flights, ships, train or buses. Everything I can use anyway... I adore maps, especially. I'm passionate about maritime cities: ports, cranes and containers, boats, etc.
