CURRENT MISSION

To stop somewhere and don't travel for one month

ABOUT ME

I studied Bussiness administration but I saw very early that I didn´t want to work in a company behind a desk with a suit. So I started to travel and... since then I have been travelling. Sometimes I travel without aim just to know new things, other times I travel cuz I have to write a guidebook, an article, a book, or just to take some pics for a magazine, and some months just to work as a tour leader.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have some kind of weird attraction for the ex-soviet union states, so I know a lot about them... even if normally people they are not so interested about it :P I know about many weird things in Japan (not all of them, so if anyone can explain me more, is really welcome). And of course things about Turkey, Iran, etc.. I really like some freak conversations about geopolitics in the area.
But, don't worry, won't make you sleep with this kind of conversations, I love to learn and talk about almost everything.
