About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore, dream and discover

ABOUT ME

I´m a native of Iceland, born and raised in Reykjavik. I consider myself an open-minded person that is always willing to experience new things, have fun and enjoy life to its fullest capacity. My ultimate goal is to travel further, learn more and love better

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you did not do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

"I only went out for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in" - John Muir

"What people do about their ecology depends on what they think about themselves in relation to things in their environment." - Lynn White
