Music, Movies, and Books

All (most at least) books are such great amazing things! I love books, blogs and mags..and the more illustrated the better to me, Images speak louder than words as well..

One of my favourite ones is The Alchemist(life changing one),and most from Paulo Coelho.

I like many types of music, it all depends on the mood really! Music's got such a powerfull energy and influence!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

discovering, experiencing and understanding different places and cultures around the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

The man is a success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had.
