About Me

CURRENT MISSION

positivity! and to understand different cultures of the world.

ABOUT ME

I´m a bit of a traveller, but above all I love living in different cultures to really understand them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Don't know if this classifies as "amazing" for everyone, but I have eaten a lot of strange stuff - raw horsemeat sushi, scorpions, dog (its a special Korean breed), whale, worms, silkworms, frog, cobra wine, crocodile, kangaroo, witchiti grubs, mangrove worms, buffalo, emu, sea urchins, fermented soy beans ('natou' that smells like over-used socks), and every type of fish egg that exists.
