CURRENT MISSION

To take it easy and hang around...

PHILOSOPHY

"Live and let live". I just want to live according to my principles and try to be happy...and travel when I can.
"I am I and my circumstance" Ortega y Gasset or " The tolerance of the intolerable drive us to the intolerance"(I can´t remember who Wrote this). ...I have a philosophical attitude towards life, sometimes not that practical...If you love something set it free...if it comes back it's yours, if it doesn't it never was.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For two years I worked in a ferry(in two companies) sailing between Norway, Denmark, Holland and England. Once, in December we traveled all the way from Oslo (South) to Northern part of Norway near the Arctic where it has a border with Russia(kirkenes)...and were 30ºC below... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirkenes
On the way up we stoped in a lot of cities before we got there. It's a beautiful country, I would like to go there again.
