CURRENT MISSION

To explore, to survive, to improve my English

ABOUT ME

I think that discovering new things beyond one's native environment is what really distinguish human being, and that traveling is the best way to discover and to experience. I'm a very curious person and I like getting in touch with new people, but I'm also a bit shy and reserved, so it isn't always easy for me to make the first step... anyway, once broken the ice, I can feel comfortable anywhere!

PHILOSOPHY

All you have seen, learnt and experienced so far is nothing compared to what you haven't seen, learnt and experienced yet.
