About Me

CURRENT MISSION

“The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are."

ABOUT ME

Currently I'm working in Vienne, near Lyon, France under the European Voluntary Service. Promoting international mobility and working around Europe with youngsters is my current occupation.
Besides that I try to volunteer as much as possible.
My favourite place in the world is the beach in the fall, when there are no people and you can just walk and think about everything.
Partying is something I can enjoy if the music is good, but I prefer a nice bar with some good music on the background and being surrounded by interesting people.
I love traveling and it is my goal to discover lots of places and cultures around the world. For now it just has been some european countries.
PHILOSOPHY

Freedom
