About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life

ABOUT ME

At the moment i think i do a lot of the following things: work, swim, dance, talk with people, i want to do more of this: travel, cook, dive, bike, hike, excersise (gym, swim, yoga), being in outdoors and more... i think people think im extrovert but looks serious (i think my glasses and work clothes help this point)....i like to have interesting conversations with people.

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy and when its possible make others happy. FUN FUN FUN
