Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I'm here for enjoyment and.... Tourism, and I'm not done yet!
ABOUT ME
Born and Raised in the city, Boarded a plane when i was 22 and since then my ass got addicted to the comfy window seat. 2013 was the year where i finally decided to work and get money for the sole purpose of travelling.
My style of travelling : having no idea where i'm spending the night, having no idea what i'll be doing during the day, taking the first random bus in the station, meeting random people, eating random food, sleeping anywhere and most importantly catching my flight back home (home?). I don't like stressing while traveling, I'm not into guided tours, and dishonest people amuze me the most.
PHILOSOPHY
TODAY IS THE DAY
TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT
*I don't buy animal products and i'm against animal abuse.
