About Me

Iam a person who really loves to smile a looot, and usually also talkative as hell :). Traveling became my most important part in the past years and i changed my style of travels, at the beginning i thought i am gonna never visit a counrty twice cos there are so many places to see in the world.finally I changed my
Way of thinking a bit and visited these countries again and again to meet my friends and discover new places as well ! So i am not just traveling countries to say i traveled 50 countries or what ever! Traveling is all about experiences, adventures, friendships...! It s always great to meet new people all around the globe, learn about other ways of living,cultures, religions and traditions , discover new food and places. Traveling makes you a different person and you get a life experience which u can't get somewhere else.
I truly can say that i love the adventure and always looking for it!
