ABOUT ME

I am a modest person, but I enjoy meeting people. I like spending time with friends. I think that I am open-minded and caring and I make friend very quickly.
I seem also to be hard-working, but personally I think often I should work harded.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a gift and it depends on us what we are going to do with it. You are blessed and happy when you can see the good in small things and when you feel grateful for all the good things which happen to you and all the good people whom you meet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kind of difficult to answer...
maybe that one day I decided that I should take a chance - I had left a job in my country and moved to another country to realise my dream in spite of knowing that the beginning wouldn't be easy. But I did it and I don't regret!
There are also some things I have seen and I will never forget: the Northern light, climbing mountain Howerla in Ukraine one winter, beautiful Azure Window on Gozo island, boat trip on the river Niger,...
certainly the Northern light is the most wonderful experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like listening to travel stories - there is always something one can learn! And it is so interesting!
