About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a very easy going person and down to earth.I like to respect other peoples privacy and life styles.

I am fun-loving, crazy, intense, curious, laid back , talkative to a fault, ...I like the arts, music, and learning about other cultures, people, thoughts, ideas and stories....I'm passionate about climbing..and apparently...i talk a lot....a lot

Travel is what i find inspires, thrills and motivates me, expanding my view of the world, people, understanding myself better and an exponential growth that deepens your perspective on the world and o n how to address it...I believe that meeting people and experiences help you understand yourself better....

PHILOSOPHY

I personally think travelling is important for everyone....it helps you grow, and also broaden your world perspective...it allows one to take each day as it comes and enjoy every experience that you have, long or short...if you meet people along the way, it only enhances it :-)
Be happy no matter what you do..life is too short to be judgemental and bitter...and fear is a figment of our own imagination... it is better to take chances than none at all :-)

Interests

I travel everywhere, culture dialogue is the most fascinating thing to me... Therefore I spend my time organizing travels!
