CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the potentials of ...whatever arise in my mind.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy a lot talking with people, especially while having tasty food and good drinks. I appreciate relaxed moments (coffee under the hot sun, or just listening to music, stroll around), but I also like to explore nature and cities. Whenever I have the change to travel, I try to experience the local way of living or at least capture (with my photo-camera or just keep in mind) the moments (details, expressions) that affect me.
