About Me

I’ve always wanted to travel, see more and be more. I like having a rush in life. There are moments in between when I think life is meaningless, why even try? But I always have this shift of thinking by saying we can add so much meaning to it. I love nature, there is so much peace in being outside.

I travel because I love experiencing the personality of a new place, a new culture, eating new foods, and having my assumptions challenged. Really, I just love the adventure of the nomad lifestyle and carrying as few things as I can get away with. The free-floating life is really nice, but I also love to get into routines and be productive. I take self-discipline very seriously with a daily meditation practice and regular yoga and exercise. I am always trying to balance these two aspects on the road: adventure/spontaneity with consistency/discipline.

I am more of an old-school person, I like listening to music in vinyls and watching old cinema. I am into stoicism, I wasn't interested in anything academically. But these days my interest revolves around philosophy, psychology, and even astronomy.

I get along most with people who are wanting to grow and somehow even lift others. I try to be that person as well. I’ve been shaped so well by my inspirations and some friends, I have met along the way. Back home I am blessed with really good friends, who are always there for me. And I look for more connections that will remain this lifetime.

Favourite Quote - It is not that we have a short space of time, but that we waste much of it.
Seneca - In the Shortness of Time.
