ABOUT ME

time-catcher, booklover, explorer of the world

i like:

- to use all of my senses during the trip
- when local people ask me something in the streets (that means that i don't look like a tourist)
- people with old shabby maps from different countries
- to keep my photos from the trips in the books
- to find my own and very special places in cities
- people who make me want to learn something
- airports
- eating local food!
