About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life as much as I can, also with small apparently insigificant things

ABOUT ME

I think I am curious, keen on discovering new things and enjoying little things in life. I guess that is why I like so much traveling! I am usually laid-back and flexible, and trying to keep a positive spirit at all times!

PHILOSOPHY

Don,t follow a path just because you,re supposed to, find your own!

Why are things done in the way they are? Why simply accepting it? Is there maybe a better one?

And, of course, ¨always look at the bright side of life!!!¨
