CURRENT MISSION

stay humble and in touch with myself..do fulfilling things..

ABOUT ME

i guess i am rather free spirited, though i'm getting older. my dad is australian and my mum is german. i have some australian traits and some european ones. i can be very introspective.. i like to absorb myself in music, books and poetry and then forget about them all. i also like to paint and draw, especially in a messy, slightly physical fashion, where i get paint all over my hands..

i think i travel a little differently now than i used to..now it is more important to me that i travel in a way which keeps me very much in touch with my interests...i'm perhaps not so much interested in losing myself through the experience of travelling, as i was earlier..
