New & interesting happenings in your life:
I was able to travel to Japan for the first time and it was a trip that blew my mind, changing the way I view the world ever since. Last year was my 30th birthday and it was a hell of a year. I was able to witness in person my favorite team’s first ever Super Bowl win, froze my butt in Minneapolis but really worth it! Fly Eagles fly! Also 2018 marked my return to European soil for the first time in 11 years. I recently quitted my job at the bank after seven years and decided to embark on a new phase of my professional career, I am about to finish my masters degree on corporate law so I decided to apply all the knowledge and start 2019 at a new place looking forward to grow and get to higher places.
Are there any special friendships you’ve made because of the band?
Yes, although I decided to stay off social media lately, there are still friends that I met through my passion for 311 and are really close to me, we stay in contact frequently and try to hang out whenever they are in town or I visit the US.Words of wisdom for your fellow fans?
Live life to the fullest, never regret and always thrive to be happy. Be thankful for being healthy, having a roof under you and having something to eat at your table.
