I used to work on all sorts of festivals, now I just visit them. I love hitchhiking, music, cities, playing soccer, hanging with friends, philosophy, keep up with current affairs, get wasted every once in a while.

PHILOSOPHY

Hope to keep pondering that subject until I die. Please don't tell me the meaning of life!
