About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, see the world and embrace the diversity of our world

ABOUT ME

I consider myself as an very open minded guy that is always up to meet new people and dive into new cultures. I also like to try new sports, from Acrobatics to Kung Fu.
Developing software and travelling are two big passions in my life.

This quote describes very well what I value about travelling:
"A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles."
Tim Cahill

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the proverb: "Man forges his own destiny.".
Stop complaining; change your life, life the live you truly want, and be happy!
