ABOUT ME

I guess I could say I'm just a pretty normal guy who, sometimes, gets bored of staying in the same place for too long. And so, in the last few years, I have met lots of amazing people: travellers, musicians, poets, painters, artists of all kind, and I have discovered how many different ways there are of living your life. Now I'm eager to meet as many people as I can, 'cause every person is a new adventure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Touching a Van Gogh painting with my bare hands...

Teach, Learn, Share

Well... I used to play the guitar a few years ago, so I guess I could teach how to play it, if my student is really, really bad at it ;-)
And, since I've been studying and working in the chemical field for years, I suppose I can teach some of that, but: Who wants to learn about chemistry, anyway? :)
