Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Settling in Toulouse, whith free time to imply in associative life.
ABOUT ME
I've lived a bit abroad (US, Portugal, Belgium) in backgrounds quite multicultural, that brought me to learn few languages (english, italian, spanish, serbo-croate, portuguese, sign language, german).
My biggest trip was a 6 months trip in 2003 with a world tour ticket.
I've lived as well for years roommating in Toulouse, mainly with foreigners (serbian, Irish, Argentinian, German, Italian) for.... travelling at home!! :)
PHILOSOPHY
A Precious Human Life:
Every day, think as you wake up:
"Today I am fortunate to have woken up.
I am alive, I have a precious human life.
I am not going to waste it.
I am going to use
all my energies to develop myself,
to expand my heart out to others,
to achieve enlightenment for
the benefit of all beings.
I am going to have
kind thoughts towards others.
I am not going to get angry,
or think badly about others.
I am going to benefit others
as much as I can."
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Some peculiar moments I'll remember forever (or more):
Spending one night in the Uyuni Salar, while a moon eclipse occur...magical
Attending a traditional persian wedding... so emotional
Climbing high mountain in Bolivia and watching the sun rise... very nice and quiet
But the most amazing, is always to come!
