I love exploring new places, meeting people and taking trips to the nature. Nature is a big inspiration for me, I deeply feel the spirit of nature all around us and i love to be a part of it´s creative energy. I love playing live music and dancing aroud the fire under the stars and also love taking photos of the nature and people living in the nature. This is my biggest passion ;)
