About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Improve my pathetic Spanish, Laugh out hard, stand still long enough for a butterfly to rest on my shoulder (a real challenge for me). Nibble on the world to explore new flavours and find inner peace...though it already may sound like cliche today, especially after half of the planet read the Alchymist...so I sort of know without really knowing.

ABOUT ME

I have been a devoted traveller who prefers staying in a place for a longer period of time, meddling with locals, learning about their lives and customs through which I continuously learn new things about myself.

PHILOSOPHY

I easily relate to Osho, Dharma and fresh air!!!
