CURRENT MISSION

To travel all over the world

ABOUT ME

I'm very laid-back, openminded and absentminded, easy to be around and travel adicted. Love a laugh, having fun with others and daydreaming. Also quiet and sensitive.

Meeting nice people from all over the world and sosializing is very important to me, though I also love just chilling out.

Love hiking, cultural events and parties as well :)
I like neither football nor pets.

People who know me can tell about me better, so read some references!

I'm willing to discover new places and learning new things!

PHILOSOPHY

Seize the day
Be yourself
Give and receive
Learn from your mistakes
