About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find unexplainable moments

ABOUT ME

I love life~
friendly, happy, outgoing free-spirit
vegetarian (animals are my friends and I don't like eating my friends)

I left New Zealand on 4th April 2013 with a one-way ticket to Croatia and now am riding the journey to wherever it takes me...

after all, home for me is the place next to my backpack where I take off my shoes and rest my head

Instead of travelling like a tourist, I prefer to be really inside the culture, more of a helping hand to anyone whose face I can bring a smile, I don't care about famous places, I don't mind if my shoes get dirty and as a general rule I am up for almost anything...

Now I am living and studying a master's in Psychology in Vienna :)

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life by the quote - 'the only thing you truly own is your story'
