ABOUT ME

!UPDATE! First of all I want to thank everybody for their nice invitations and all the recommendations I received, I really didn't expect to receive help and offers from so many people which proves how great this site/group really is...I have hopefully enough information and back up to start my trip. Once again thanks for all the support, I really appreciate it! :)

it's those little things that define us, like the sound of our voice, the usual look on our face, the way we walk, the things we do for others and for ourselves...

PHILOSOPHY

"Have no fear of perfection, you'll never reach it." by Salvador DaliBetter to regret what you've done rather than regret not doing it...if you are not living on the edge, you are
just taking up way too much space in this world...
