CURRENT MISSION

Adventure finally has a new face!

ABOUT ME

I likes exploring all cultures and counties as well as countries deemed dangerous by the media. I love the mysteriousness of places where the local tourist does not go. I enjoy ancient history, cultures, old Maps, autonomous regions of the world, renewable energy and people.

"Adventure is a state of mind. Following your dreams is not always about being safe."
