I have a lot of great friends, I am an art lover, I am stay-at-home person who is the happiest to get some alone time in this era that is overly consumed with information. This is my response in order to do marketing – to give yourself a break from the noise, from time to time. I love yoga. I do not like jokes and I am very uncomfortable to listen to them. I wish to get more involved with social issues and to work with people who promote real, important issues. I want participate in causes that have a greater meaning, for individuals as well as for the whole society.
