I love to travel but I don't like being a tourist. I like to learn from different cultures, I love to witness different ways of living, of thinking, of conceiving the world; that's what I travel for, not to show off, not to carry souvenirs, but to understand. I prefer to meet people in their real environment, in their everyday activities, I love to see what makes them laugh, what makes them cry, what's important for them and why. I love to share my experiences with them too. I love to tell stories from the places I've been in, of the things I do, of the way I see life.
