About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

My life has changed so many times till I can remeber myself..In a good way..After all I have become mature and immature at the same time! Well, I may have not travelled a lot but now that this chance is given to me I will exploit it! I(like many many people) dream,believe,love and can be really friendly...I got a huge love for the sea,as I grew up near the sea...And one more thing,IÏ

PHILOSOPHY

Possunt quia posse videntur
They can because they seem to be able to
(they can do it because they think they can do it - the power of positive thinking)

Interests

Travelling is my business...and business is good! :P
I am kidding I just love to travel!
I like camping and hiking,though I am not an experienced camper/hiker.
I also got a thirst for knowledge and like to get informed about many many events and issues surrounding the world!I am really curious about learning other cultures,too!
Cycling,swimming and football come also to my interests.
Music has a special place in my life,I enjoy listening and playing with my guitar.
Last but not least,hanging out with my friends,making jokes and generally consuming time with them is what makes my life superb..
