ABOUT ME

Travelled for 2009 and lived in Melbourne in 2010. Currently a bit career focused but trying to dot in travel here and there. I am a person who loves good music, talking to passionate and interesting people, enjoying a wine or beer in the sun, laughing till I cry, and well .... the rest you can decide for yourself :)

PHILOSOPHY

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of the rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them, because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as crazy ones. We see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones that do”
Jack Kerouac
