About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be excited and inspired by whatever life presents!

ABOUT ME

People and travelling were always been at the core of my life. Ever since I can remember myself I was intrigued by new places and different cultures. In 1996, aged 21, I took a motorcycle trip in Australia & immediately fell in love. Years later I went back to complete a master’s degree and adopted Australia as a home. In 2009, after six blissful years in Australia, I packed a small backpack and left on a ~4 years Round-The-World trip. I’m now adopting the U.S. as my new and third home.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well preserved piece, but to skid across the line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, shouting geronimo!!
