ABOUT ME

I am very curious, so pretty much anything to do with that is related with me - I love travelling, learning languages, reading, talking about any sort of subjects, and being with friends

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just yesterday - I was in Twin Peaks, San Francisco, which has a sweeping view from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Bay. It was cloudy with sun spots, and then suddenly the fog came in from the Ocean and filtered the whole landscape as if God was a fan of Monet.
