About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Only tamed birds day-dream. Wild birds fly.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy being young and experiencing the world. I love learning from people and places. I am very concerned about the state of the world and in the future I want to do my tiny share to change things. And I think development is the most interesting field there is! I have lost my heart to Zambia and its amazing people. Africa in general interests me too. I think I have a heart of a sailor that urges me to travel every once in a while. The day I will stop laughing to the irony of life, a small part of my soul will die.

PHILOSOPHY

Things always work out, sometime, somehow. Africa has taught me to chill, respect people and to be patient. I have decided to have a damn interesting life and to be happy.
