About Me

2019 update: I have a son (born in July 2018) and I would like to get back to travelling with him via this wonderful community :)

I love sports, I adore cats (don't mind dogs). I smile a lot, talk a lot... and I'm curious about everything... :)

I would say I am a travel-addict. I feel weird if I stay a lot of time at one place. A friend of mine invented a French word "viyager" - to live out of travelling. Et moi j'adore viyager.

PHILOSOPHY

Time you enjoy wasting is not a wasted time.

Participating on a tradition Mallorcan walk called "Des Güell A Lluc a peu" - 48 km. I finished it !

Riding a bike/scooter/elephant/bus/tuk tuk/train in Sri Lanka

Sailing - I worked on boats and I really enjoyed it.
