About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the planet, meet fun people and be adventurous

ABOUT ME

I'm passionate about travel and adventure, and try to combine both as often as possible. I typically travel independently all over the world, so far I've been to almost 50 countries on 5 continents, it's the best university of life. Guide books are great but only as far mainstream tourism, I prefer to strike my own path and try to get a unique experience and connection with locals.

PHILOSOPHY

Never stop exploring...live the dream :)
