About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to spread the irie feeling!

ABOUT ME

I find it very difficult to talk about me, but I can say that I like to meet people from all around the world, I'm up for new adventures, I like to see things from different perspectives and I want to enjoy and get the most of every experience.

PHILOSOPHY

We create our needs, and then we suffer because "we don't have what we need". But the truth is, we don't need anything, we just have to really believe it. (sometimes I forget, to be honest)

We have to believe in goodness so we can be part of it and recieve it. There is this huge positive mass or whatever, but if we don´t believe in it, it will never be present in our lives. So, yeah, we have to believe.
