Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Mmm... That's a good question...
ABOUT ME
I lived in Taiwan (Taizhong) four years ago. I fell in love with the island and its people and since then it has been my main dessire to come back. And here I am...! Making the most of my staying.
PHILOSOPHY
As you set out for Ithaka hope your road is a long one, full of adventure, full of discovery... Hope your road is a long one. May there be many summer mornings when, with what pleasure, what joy, you enter harbours you're seeing for the first time... (C. Kavafis)
"Planes and trains and boats and buses characteristically evoke a common attitude of blue unless you have a suitcase and a ticket and a passport and the cargo that they're carrying is you" (Tom Waits)
