About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Specialize in having fun!

ABOUT ME

I used to be good in filling out information about myself, but my memory is getting worse day after day. Maybe a good thing, so I can't rely on old skills. I like to improvise. More a necessity than choice!

making too much plans is underestimating all the little changes and surprises of life it self!
It is like a journey where you too much focus on the final destination, that you miss all the beautiful byways!

in other words, I live from day to day. Although "carpe diem" is easier said than done

PHILOSOPHY

openminded; trying to see things as they are, not to be judgemental. People are the most flexibel and versatile organisms on this planet. I'm trying to be able to blend in any place and situation. without losing myself!

Enjoying life as a little kid, but taking responsibilities as an adult!

There are only two ways to unravel: the first is to sleep, the other to travel!

Dosed loneliness is just as important in life as sleep, nutrition and housing (charles bukowski)
