Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My misson is to live life to the fullest, and experience as much good as possible while I am here. This of course includes seeing the world and meeting interesting and nice people.
ABOUT ME
I started my gloal travelling career when I was 17 and was an exchange student with the AFS program in the United States. I lived in Minnesota for a year, where I got to know exchange students from all over the world and a lot of really nice local pepole as well.
After this I realized that bringing the world closer together by learning about each other, and getting to know different people and cultures are vital to our common survival on this small planet.
There are at least to ways to experience the world. 1. Go out there and see it for yourself. 2 Open you home to people from all over the world and learn about them. I prefer to do both! I have lived in the Balkans for almost 2 years and in Africa for 1,5 years. Now I live in the US and will be in New York for 2-3 years.
PHILOSOPHY
Live life to the fullest, and be to others as you would like them to be towards you.
