About Me

CURRENT MISSION
I'm totally new on CS. I just finished my studies in civil engineering and I decided to backpack Central Europe with a friend of mine who also finished his studies. I'm travelling around in order to discover new cultures, myself, and to precise what I want to do with my life.

I'm on my way, whit open eyes and an open heart. I don't know where the journey goes but that's not that much important for me anyway. I prefer to live for the present moment and enjoy the beauty of it. Still, I reason a lot about myself and the world we all live in. Life in it's complexity for me is mysterious and incomprehensible in some ways. I'm very sceptic about people who claim that they understand what the whole thing is all about.

Collect moment...not things !!
