About Me

CURRENT MISSION

For what is worth in this comunity, the mission is to know people, from all over the globe, to exchange experiences, to host, to show my town, to stay in other places, visiting and exchange life and friendship as many as I can.

ABOUT ME

a former white-collar working class man, transformed into a man that wants to make works of art to everyone. I found out that you create your own chances and you got the power to achieve whatever you want. If only you take the effort. I began my adventures traveling to other countries at my early 30's and stopped due to my career. Now, at my late 30's, I am trying to return it to where I stopped.

I love to see what people do, their passions, their occupations and how they see the world.
