About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I feel lucky I can travel and meet people from different cultures!

ABOUT ME

I consider myself a extremely curious person. I need to understand why things happen. I once saw a comic where a guy pushed a button and got a light electric shock; then the comic explained: most people would run away... Some would press it a second time to understand if that happens everytime. I would definitely push it again!

Traveling is the best way to meet people that shares a different vision of the world. And then you start wondering things and realize that the world is not black or white: it's a rainbow with so many colors!

PHILOSOPHY

LIVE and let live... Traveling helps you understand the world and realize we're not the center of it.

Jungle-trekking, chatting with a buddish monk and creating a small library for kids in Laos...
Kayaking in Thailand when a whale emerged a few meters away...
Staring the night sky in the middle of Massai Mara while taking a shower and suddenly earing a lion roar with no fence in between...
Swimming with wild dolphins in Zanzibar...
White Shark cage diving and meeting penguins in South Africa...
Entering a mayan pyramid at Honduras...
