About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Avoiding the rat race.

ABOUT ME

I am often accused of being too idealistic and a dreamer, on the other hand I cross my fingers that my rose tinted glasses never break :-) I love being active and I am always ready for an adventure. I especially love getting lost in the middle of nowhere (which does not happen very often in Malta). Or to go traveling with nothing much planned, just to be able to experience the feeling of freedom that I get when I improvise as I go along. Love the feeling of being on the road, sleeping under starry skies, going for midnight swims, dreaming, laughing, wandering, wondering........

PHILOSOPHY

Love it!! Especially existentialism - Camus and Sartre! Really influenced by the writings of Henry David Thoroue!
