About Me

I'm just beginner travel. in end of January I arrived in Thailand on a few weeks and came a retreat where we lived with Buddhist monks without communication with the outside world and kept silent for 7 days. after that I decided that I dont need to go home yet. I decided to start hitchhiking. Now my goal is to realize myself in the journey, because I feel that more I have traveling and meet new people the more I open myself to this world, and the world opens to me! it's amazing to meet people who think and feel alike with you
now my goal is Thailand, Malaysia, all the Islands of Indonesia, South America and Australia! my biggest dream is to see the big blue whale and swim with it!
And i steel belive in mericle :)
