What was your first experience with the internet? What year was that?
Late 90’s/early 2000’s, dialing up my good-old PC to play games and enter in chat rooms. One of the first games I remember playing was the MMORPG Tibia. That was one of my first contacts with the English language, and I met people from all around the world playing it!
Who you are? What are a few key points that make you, you?
I am a learner (and will always be), a person who likes to put a smile on everyone’s face. I am a coffee drinker, who makes some badass coffee (that’s what they say out there)! I am just a small dot in the world, surrounded by awesome people, who makes my life complete!
