CURRENT MISSION

Against Intimate Otherness.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, like everyone else around here. However, there's something that changed my mind a bit about constantly going away... I lived in Montreal for a year and, of course, I was eager to get to know everything in the city, and everything in the province of Quebec. But the better I got to know people/ country/ culture there, the more I had to realize how badly I know all those things at home - 'cause I've always just wanted to go away. So now, I'm trying to stay - and get to know what's right around me. Which is why my next trip will be an Interrail trip through Europe, and the rest of the summer I will spend exploring Vienna.
