ABOUT ME

My name is Bara. I'm obsessed with two things (maybe more)

1- Traveling to Explore New Places,
2- Documenting (life-logging)

When I started Traveling in 2008, my eyes were opened to a lot of things that I was never able to notice before .. and made me by far a much happier better person.

PHILOSOPHY

Neil deGrasse Tyson: Living and Longevity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MeWBlKYOvw

"“Life isn't about Finding yourself. Life is about Creating yourself." G.B. Shaw.

"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it's better to be alone than in bad company." --George Washington

"“One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure its worth watching."

"If you wait to do everything until you're sure it's right, you'll probably never do much of anything." -Win Borden

"Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong." -Peter Mcintyre

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma!€ which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary" -Steve Job
