CURRENT MISSION

Learn Spanish at least to an advanced level if not professional. :)

ABOUT ME

Well, it is kinda difficult to describe yourself, isn't it? I am an ordinary person, trying to figure out what is his mission on planet Earth. I like visiting new places and meeting new people. "Life is a journey" - I take these words quite literally.

If you write to me a message - "Hi, GIN_BG. Is this your real name?" - you will automatically get a decline. Sorry, but it is a bit annoying if you start a request in such a way...

PHILOSOPHY

"Man is the creature of circumstances." - Robert Owen

"Experience is a good teacher, but she sends in terrific bills." - Minna Thomas Antrim

"Before the development of tourism, travel was conceived to be like study, and its fruits were considered to be the adornment of the mind and the formation of judgement." - Paul Fussell, Abroad
