About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see every place on earth and to learn as many languages as possible before I die...or at least to enjoy my life whatever happens

ABOUT ME

I am calm and easy going. I like to travel everywhere and don't have any problem with uncomfortable trains and sleeping on floors. With my backpack strapped to my back, leaving the too well defined big city order of things to enter the true dynamics of the world is when I feel at my best.

PHILOSOPHY

This "civilization" isn't natural and shouldn't be taken seriously. Remember that everything is relative, be it pain and sorrow or joy and happiness, so have no fear, open your mind to every possible point of view on everything and enjoy every aspect of life.
