About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Happiness inside

ABOUT ME

I've always loved to travel, that's why I'm here!I would also like to show my home city to all the world, 'cause it's worth that!I can talk forever... so feel fine to stop me when it's too much! I cherish my friends most of all. Things come and go, but they stay. Love them! I am often, if not always, late. Still, I have never missed a plane or train... But that won't always work, I'm sure. UPDATE: I have once missed a plane... Perhaps that was because I wanted to stay in Venezuela for one more day??? :D Things I enjoy are languages, music (used to play piano...) and cycling.
