About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the whole world

ABOUT ME

I am a very chilled out person, very open-minded and in love with people and cultures. I really enjoy chatting over a nice glass of wine and going out with friends for a nice lunch or dinner. I am very mentally-active, always looking for new stuff to learn and try.
I have a good humor, and 100% respect for everyone and everything in this world. I am very tolerant and I always try to help anyone in need.

PHILOSOPHY

Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time. Then your time on Earth will be filled with glory.
