One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was waiting to see pinguins on a beach in New Zealand when I saw one getting out of the water. Then a seal came near and try to play with it. The pinguin ran away into the sea and the seal tried to catch it. It was like in a documentary, I could assist to an exceptional moment of the wildlife and I feel very lucky about that.

I climbed the Volcano Ringani in Lombok early in the moring and I arrived at the summit for sunrise. It was a magic moment.

When I arrived in Port Hedland to find a job, I find a lot of people who help me to adapt myself to my new life. It is crasy how you can get close to the people when everybody is helping each other

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk about my last travel. I have been travelling for one year now and I have seen a lot of things and learn a lot of things. I have learn gardening, cooking, working on a car or with wood.
