ABOUT ME
Hmmm, it´s always difficult to describe yourself I guess .... courios, open mind, and with a faible for books, animals and nature, long hiking tours and travels.
In April 2023 I started a tour in Centralasia, now 2024 back in Europe, in Greece and Italy and hope to meet some locals and other travelers with CS; after the long corona -break....
PHILOSOPHY
You haven´t time to wait for tomorrow...
