CURRENT MISSION

I seek to explore the world, but most importantly to know people and hear their stories.

ABOUT ME

I love photography. I love to talk with people and heair the stories. I love classical music and folk songs. Previously I worked as an interpreter/translator, book editor and I also worked in a bike shop as mechanic. Trying to explore Europe on my bicycle.

and tell me what you think :)

Trainspotting is also my hobby. Pretty easygoing and trying to learn some cooking skill.

PHILOSOPHY

I think the best thing one can do is to establish lasting friendship. That's more durable than material posession, and you don't need to pay overweight fee on plane to bring the friends with you.

You have to keep curiousity to the very end of life.
I try to experience life in different cultures. That's why I chose Ethonology as my major in college. Currently, I am tasting a bit of Swedish culture.
