About Me

CURRENT MISSION
to shine

Travelling in Asia since february 2019: India, Nepal, Malaysia, Brunei, now - Indonesia, Bali since January 2020.

ABOUT ME

Artistic, Adventurer, Dreamer.
trying to understand things.
Vegetarian since 2014, moving towards veganism. Practicing several concepts in my daily life: mindfullnes and awareness, respect and humble, joy and fun, smart consumption, zero waste.
Reuse, reduce, repurpose, recycle ♻️

Animal and plant lover, grow kombucha while traveling :).

Our planet is the most precious thing - I try to live in a way not to hurt it and to restore the damage that has been made by us as humanity.
love nature, breathing, moving my body, cycling, hiking, good books, dancing, music of the soul.

I am driven by the idea to see and feel as many places on our gorgeous planet as I possibly can - but not collecting stamps, traveling slowly and carefully, living like locals do.

I love hiking, nature, cool people I always meet on my way, good food - thanx god being vegetarian is on trend now! ;)
Curiosity is my travel moto.
Use Couchsurfing and hitchhiking while I am on the road a lot, it is the best way to learn the country, the people, the traditions and to share all the goodness we carry as humans; i have a good eye for photos and good moves for dance)

Philosophy

Let's be ourselves and see where it brings us
