Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To live simply, to discover, to share, to learn, to have fun. Just make the most of life.
ABOUT ME
I love traveling, reading, writing, walking, riding bicycle. Climbing rocks or walking barefoot in the grass.
I like to discuss with friends, over a tea.
I need silent, solitary moments.
I like just to lie under the sun for reading.
But I need to do 'crazy' things too. Life is short, so... I want to do the most I can.
PHILOSOPHY
"You never go as far as when you don't know where you go." (Christophe Colomb)
Travel the world, meet people. Make the most of life.
To learn, in order to understand the world, people.
