Overview
About Me
500 cities, still getting lost.
ABOUT ME I'm mati, a magic elf who managed to get through an enchanted mirror but still never left wonderland... Hometown, Buenos Aires, I spend most of my days resting on sweet cotton clouds. Located in a type of twilight zone by wonka world though without golden tickets. I believe that this life was designed for me and I live it like that. Lot's of happiness and joy to share, positive energy and rock'n roll baby bay bay yeah yeah honey... I enjoy each second of my life and got to learn how to get the most out of the simplest things. Passionate and addicted to whatever does me good, I absolutely love traveling, meeting new ppl and getting to know new cultures and experiencing other ones' lives through quality conversation. Sometimes writer, always arty and crazy about photography and design; highly-techy; self-organized and kinda structured though flexible. I try to keep myself doing the infinite stuff i enjoy. I hate rutine but love to follow my calendars. I can get to sleep in wherever place u may think of... even standing. I get great pleasure out of long walks around new places or even old ones where I get to discover new shapes and spots. Naturally Nomad, I live with a backpack attached even in my daily life. Running, inline skating, adrenaline seeker... I love change and I hate going blind with the flow... Saludos a todos los q no me conocen. noroc! salud! campai! nasdrovie! cheers! Prost! na zdrav! hurraa! no beba antes de manejar y use cinturón.
PHILOSOPHY Life is wonderful, get the most out of each moment, each frame. A flaky goal is better than no goal. Pain is temporary... Glory is forever. The world was designed each of us, so enjoy!
