*I travelled with somebody I barely knew*
sometimes it's just a matter of istant feeling
sometimes it's just a matter of foolish acts that make your life amazing :)

*snorkeling with huge and peaceful whale sharks

Teach, Learn, Share

i can tell u about horses: these animals so diffident and elegant, so kind and instictive.
i've included them in my life 15years ago and i love them more&more. they teach me how to be patient, careful but trustful, gentle but strong,how to go on step by step with no rush.
little moments, little details, little gestures that make life richer..
