About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To plan for the next destination to get lost

ABOUT ME

Always hungry/thirsty to discover new places, new people, new moments that take one's breath away. There is a wish I heard once that goes: "I wish you curiosity", and it hasn't escaped my mind ever-since.

PHILOSOPHY

Maybe these wise proverbs would sum it up:
.If you never try, you'll never know
.Mediocrity is the reward of the ordinary
.A dream is the answer to a question we haven't yet learned how to ask
