CURRENT MISSION

To explore, experience, and discover

ABOUT ME

I`m open, curious and adventurous. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories, perhaps over a beer in a shadowy wood-pannelled bar I arrived in just a few hours before. And I love wandering alone through the streets of an unfamiliar town, losing myself in the ebb and flow of people and eyeing up the strange architecture. Mountains n forests n streams and wandering among them with a bed on one's back is wonderful too.
