About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to keep doing what i am doing :) life is not so complicated when you really get down to it

ABOUT ME

I am back living in my home town after having spent the past few years traveling and living in different places. Im currently working in a local school with autistic children. I spent last year traveling throughout western Europe with bases in Spain, Portugal and Belgium. Yhe previous year i lived in Macedonia, traveling throughout the year around the balkans.
This year i have taken a step back from traveling and am staying in my hometown for the year.
the travel stories that couchsurfers bring with them is going to be as close to traveling as ill get this year :)

PHILOSOPHY

be positive. scorn ignorance and intolerance. tomorrow's world will be of our own creation.
