About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"As Gandhi said: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."

Since I realized that life is much more than our eyes can see, I left my job and started to travel, in order to discover new places, persons and really feel myself alive.
During this time many things changed, I started to pay attention in everything around me, I'm in a awaking process.
