About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Packing again...

ABOUT ME

I like travelling and learning. I also like deep relationships and this is in conflict with my restless mind! The good thing is that people's hearts have just entrances and not exits. So friends stay friends!
Crazy about sports, music, history, science, everything!!! And most of all the sea...

PHILOSOPHY

You are born.. And you start to learn from your parents, your school, your friends. And then you grow up a little bit and you think you've just got there... Change looks difficult...

And then you start travelling!

Honestly, 99.9% of the extra elements I add to my personality, the things I learn, the new perceptions and skills I acquire are while traveling...

......

My definition of being free: To live a life driven by the positive side of our existence and not the negative one. This means to leave driven by desires, dreams and wishes and not fears, weaknesses and passiveness...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I feel really lucky because I have...
...surfed in Ipanema and played beach volleyball in Copacabana...
...danced samba and forro in Democraticus in Lapa..
...danced salsa in the Casa de la musica in Havana...
...bruised my body by water falling from 1 km above me at the Salto Anjelo, in Venezuela...
...swam in the Moscow river after playing beach volleyball on the thick river sand...
...played tennis and been in gastronomic restaurants in Frace...
...slept inside the castle of Obidus, Portugal...
...been pushed by the meltemi around the Aegean Sea in sailing boats...
...felt like another grain of sand in the Maspalomas dunes in Gran Canaria...
...been invited for a traditional dinner in an Italian family...
...been in Denmark to see the best democracy and social system I 've met so far...

And most of all...

I am sure that the best is still to come!!
