About Me
CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
Travel addict, want to visit every country in the world, interested in architecture and photography, love to travel alone, preferably where I don´t know the culture, language or anyone..
Love music, jazz, The Beatles. Play the drums, vibraphone, guitar, bass, trumpet.
I woud like to be fluent in at least 6 languages. 3,5 down 2,5 to go!
I'm a foodie, I love tea and spending hours in cosy cafés with my laptop. And what some people apparently find weird, I love to check out local supermarkets whenever Im in a new country..
PHILOSOPHY
Travel. Whenever you can. Even if you don't. Its always possible to make it happen. Always.
