When was the first time you came to Africa?I would say the very fist time was 2006 in Ghana. Great african country to start with! One of my best holiday ever!!!
What is your favorite local dish?I adore Ghana's cuisine!!!But i would probably say fufu with palm nut soup, goat meat and fried plantain. Luv it!
In a few words, describe who Valentina is.Avid adventure traveller, multicutural, curious and openminded.
Why do you say you are black on the inside, white on the outside?Well, it's something i realized when i was a kid. I always had a strong attraction for black skin & culture. At the age of 10, me and my best friend painted our faces & body with auto-darkening lotion to look less pale & more " kool" like some of our mates. Growing older, i realized that u can't and shoudn't change your skin, but my heart was all into black culture until i ended up marrying it. :)
Do you plan on visiting Africa again?I am a well travelled person & i love Africa a lot. I can say that there's a special welcoming feeling and authentic beauty that you can't get anywhere else in the world. It's just an extraordinary place with extraordinary people. So, yes, defnitely visting Africa soon again. Actutally i never stopped since 2006!!! I am addicted now!
