Hey guys. My name is Tom. Obviously very fond of travels. I have been lucky enough to visit 53 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and Northern America.

I'm a vegetarian trying to go vegan and i love to cook so be ready to taste a delicious vegan meal if you meet me along the way.

I like to party to some extent, but I'm more of a museum, sights, tasting the food and meeting people kind of guy.

My hobbies are very mainstream I guess, going to the movie, watching an Opera or a play, Reading.You will always find a book in my luggage and i won't leave a country without trying to find good books by the local writers.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem! If you are stupid, it means Yolo in your language Have fun, be optimistic!
