About Me

Roaming through life as it perpetually changes, trying to survive, I guess.

Interests

I love spending time in nature, with friends or alone.
Gardening is something that I started a few years ago and was hooked immediately because it is such a zen activity connected to nature.. I'm from a city so I never had this opportunity before. Now I dream about living in nature, tending my garden, walking through meadows and forests in dusk and dawn, canoeing in a misty river, experiencing life at the source that is nature. As the years pass, many things related to society, apart for a few real friends, are becoming more and more meaningless and distant from me.

Climbing trees, climbing mountains.. mostly anything outside that's fun.
