About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring.

ABOUT ME

I never get tired of admiring unknown horizons. If I could, I would choose to understand everything. When talking to people, I appreciate acceptance and comprehension more than approval. Or at least, the attempt (ask Julie Delpy). My idea of a birthday party is the one with true friends, good music and a cake smashed on our faces. Experience is how we learn and connect. Definitely an outdoor person, probably enthusiast. Water is the most amazing thing on Earth.

PHILOSOPHY

Until I form something that makes sense, I will quote some wise men's thougths:

I arise in the morning torn between the desire to improve the world and the desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day. - E.B. White

I should be telling this with a sigh- somewhere ages and ages hence: two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference. - Robert Frost

Sometimes, all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage. I promise you, something great will come out of it. - Benjamin Mee
