About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel and create a network of friends around the world...

ABOUT ME

Very simple person and loves to meet people of different cultures.

I like this word from Matt Pyke "The more connections I make, the further I can reach across the world finding inspiration in every person that I meet"

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be afraid and discouraged in anything or everything, just go and move, knowing there is the One that guides you and keep watching you.
