About Me

CURRENT MISSION

gather experiences, help others

ABOUT ME

I like foreign people, sports, languages, travelling, music, cooking, gardening and books (I have quite a large collection which comes from all around places I visited :))

PHILOSOPHY

I think you should try to gather lots of experience and knowledge and then get a good job and have a nice family and host lots of foreign people at your house and travel as much as possible until you are old and grey :)
