CURRENT MISSION

I am very excited to fulfil my dream of traveling by starting a backpacking trip around the world for a year!
Leaving a regular job and a stable home was easy for me because it was all for a more important goal:
- feel at home wheverever I am
- embrace the freedom and joy of living through traveling, and let it guide my life after i finish this trip.
- appreciate different cultures, nature, different ways of living, broaden my horizon by the diversity of our beautiful world.
- be true to myself, do what my heart desires and accept the risks
- celebrate the highs and lows of life with others

ABOUT ME

The best things in life are free
- be in a good mood
- connect with others
- playing in nature
- express yourself through music, singing, dancing, moving, colors, words...

My best memories from traveling involved
- meeting new people
- sharing about each others dreams, passions, and perspectives,
- feeling trust, kindness and inspirations from the people i meet along the way, who are otherwise strangers and passers-by

PHILOSOPHY

- We can make this world a paradise, where everyone thrives in peace, love, harmony and with our mother nature. And it starts with me.
- Live by what i believe in, not by what i fear.
- Trust the world is a friendly playground, not a hostile battlefield.
- Every day you get a new choice like you are born afresh, like yesterday had no bearing on today. You get a brand new paper to write and draw on, what pictures and colors would you draw? what stories would you write for today?
- A healthy and strong foundation of self-respect and compassion is essential for people to live a happy and fulfilled life. It comes from recognizing and embracing all of your bright and dark aspects without judgement, loving yourself unconditionally like mother to a child. Rather than rooting our self-esteem on external validation like others approval and materialistic things, which are often transient and out of our control.
