About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting to know the world a bit better. Wondering what my place is.

ABOUT ME

Easy going,honest and busy figuring out what I can do in and for the world.. At the end of the story that is what I want to do.

My traveling is a start of this search. Meeting new people and seeing how everybody has a story, and there is no point in comparing those stories is one of the best things I learned so far.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't judge fast but run fast.

Everybody has his OWN story, we don't need to compare these.

Live life to the fullest. Keep your head up, keep your hart strong.
