CURRENT MISSION

To work, travel and be happy :) "The world is like a book and not travelling is like reading only one page.¨...I love this quote!!

ABOUT ME

Perfectionist..... but far from perfect.
Simple......but complicated.
Down-to-earth.....but head in the clouds.

I made that up myself! Not bad, huh? :)

PHILOSOPHY

i have many quotes that I live by:

"You will never discover new oceans until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore¨

¨Never look down upon someone unless you´re helping them up¨

"Two things are infinite- the universe and human stupidity...and I'm not sure about the universe." Einstein

"Procrastinate now...don't put it off."

¨It´s nice to be important, but it´s more important to be nice.¨

"Knowledge Speaks....but wisdom listens" Jimi Hendrix

¨If everything seems to be going right in your life, you´re in the wrong lane!¨

"I've had a wonderful time, but this wasn't it" Groucho Marx
