CURRENT MISSION

Know places, people, languages, flavors ... well, cultures.

ABOUT ME

I'll try to avoid "clichés" like: "world citizen", "globe-trotter" sort of thing, but I'd definitely use these labels if they weren't labels (LOL) ... all I can say is that I've travelled enough to remark how enriching and mind opening can "meeting new people and places" be!

Talking, eating, drinking, exchanging music, literature, languages, flavors and stories is my way to knowing people and letting people know me.

Looking forward to new names on my “contacts notebook”.
