ABOUT ME
Moved to Bali now
I'm a whacko who loves to roam around. I love traveling, birdwatching and a bit of photography. I love going around solo as i almost never have a fixed plan and traveling solo gives you the opportunity to meet lots of interesting people.
One of my current passions is to go to remote places and have a small nap there. It feels awesome :)
