CURRENT MISSION

Be the best Blogger without Borders I can be

ABOUT ME

What do I enjoy in life? Drinking tea, blogging, traveling, playing poker, long nights in the bar with my friends, traveling, keeping up with current events, talking about politics, criticizing society in any way I can, standing up for women's rights, traveling, going to the Vondelpark on a sunny day... and did I mention traveling?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked in an institute for criminal children in Bulgaria, and seeing how a lack of love and attention makes them act the way they do.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very good at making people look at the other side of things. Whenever something seems to be self-evident I like to question it. That's why I like couch surfing, meeting people from other cultures can confront you with new ways of thinking about things you took for being self-evident, even though they actually are not.
