CURRENT MISSION

Simplicity, good education & meaningful goals

ABOUT ME

I like to discover quiet places with beautiful nature, diverse culture as well as meeting people I can have interesting conversations with. However, to me the meaning of travelling has changed; from being a traveller "consumed" by the industry and socail media, I now try to be more conscious about it. Travelling is not one of my life goals. It is something I like to do; I get to see places, relax while hiking and sometimes just happy being by myself. If you want to meet interesting people, they can be found around the corner from where you live too. You don't have to travel miles and miles for that purpose.

PHILOSOPHY

If you want to get more happiness out of life, don't aim for happiness. Aim for something else. Something you consider worthwhile and you can take real satisfaction from.

Silence is sometimes the best answer -- Dalai Lama

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. -- Oscar Wilde

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share travel experiences and information about the places I have lived before. I always appreciate a good conversation - Doesn't necessarily have to be about travelling :-)
