I've always been attracted to languages. Particularly when I find out similarities between them, that no one expected to be there. I love to unearth the weaving connections of their stories, it's a magical universe in my eyes. The way I see it is that by knowing other languages we can better understand the world and the people living in it, we can communicate with others and learn about their vulnerabilities, we can exchange ideas and opinions. I love life and the interesting people I meet in my life, and my work. 

I'm an avid reader and people think my house is overstuffed with books, but I read all of them. I also enjoy writing and hope soon to dedicate time to writing a screenplay. I take long walks every day, it's a moment of great exploration of the outside world, and similarly of my inner world, too. Years ago I walked the entire Compostela pilgrimage with my daughter and it was one of the best spiritual experiences that I have ever lived. When I walk, I often think about the glitches that I see in my work and how I can fix them.

I spend time with dear friends visiting wine regions because for me good food and wine are real nourishment for the soul. That's why I always enforce the need for the combo food-wine in a wedding, and it makes me happy to be able to share my knowledge and experience with our loving couples.

My husband is originally from Venice and I have a wonderful son and daughter who live abroad, so I often travel between Berlin and Lisbon. I am also a very proud grandma, which gives me another excuse to visit them often.

Why did I want to become a wedding planner? That's easy. Personally, there is no better purpose in life than making others happy. I really do all that I can to make the impossible, possible and I do that through open dialogue and the power of understanding. 

I work hard and I love it, because I feel that I'm putting more beauty and peacefulness out there. And I'm also very punctual and precise, which I think comes in very handy in this line of work.
