CURRENT MISSION

Now I'm an exchange student in Tampere, Finland, young, full of ideas and fond of travelling

ABOUT ME

Sociable, friendly, easy-going, creative, active ,eager to find new friends, neat, tidy

PHILOSOPHY

To my mind, a human is created to be happy, that is why happiness is the most significant thing in the world. All we do must be done in order to make us happy (without making anyone unhappy at the same time) as each of us is given no more than one life.

Travelling is one of the most interesting things. “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”
