ABOUT ME I like to test my limits. I have a tendency to reduce everything to formulas, but I love little indulgences and simple pleasures. For me, travelling is about the stories and lifestyle one takes home, so I love living abroad like a local and learning new skills, traditions, and languages. PHILOSOPHY "The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful is why do I feel it's not beautiful? And very shortly you discover there is no reason." â John Cage "There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot." â John Cage
