About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Waiting for 2012 to happen and then couchsurf the rest of the universe!

ABOUT ME

Open minded, relaxed, pragmatic and optimistic, especially when faced with setbacks. Curious about people and other cultures, which is my main drive for traveling around the globe.

PHILOSOPHY

Breathing is not living. Those moments that made me experience life to the fullest took my breath away.
