ABOUT ME
Trying to live as simple as posible. Love to be on the road and travelling with my bicycle is an addiction. Curious and always looking for a new adventure. Trying to travel by bicycle as much as i can while travelling as it is a unique way of meeting people, for sure also an adventure and of course the cheapest way of travelling. Also I like to record some moments of life with my photographic cameras as my skills for drawing and painting are really bad :P
Love to be in contact with nature and everyday wanting more to move to a more rural place. Pizza and if Homemade pizza even better, says something about me, i think i couldn't live without Pizza :P I´m not a vegetarian but i normally do not eat meat.
Juggler forever and a juggler of life :P
Colors, sun, sweets, spicy, hats, cooking, onions, soja sauce, bicycle, birkenstock sandals,my camper-van, weird places to sleep, friends, smile and smile :) .... things that can also define me !
PHILOSOPHY
The world is a book and those who don't travel read only one page
