CURRENT MISSION

To collect stories

ABOUT ME

I'm a collector and chronic vagabond.

I am addicted to travel and couchsurfing is my enabler.

I am married to a gorgeous Hungarian and love it!

PHILOSOPHY

For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.
