About Me

CURRENT MISSION

travel as much as i can

ABOUT ME

I find coffee, beer & chocolate are essential to my mental health. I also like traveling, meeting new cultures and talking to people. spent 2 years in east Africa, almost 2 years in Italy between my travels. I am not so great on the "parties" part of life, prefer personal chats.. I prefer getting to know the places I travel in from the local people's view and not from a tourist guide. For interesting people and conversation I'm willing even to skip a museum or two... I like cynical people who have a "non main" stream ideas about life...

PHILOSOPHY

respect yourself and others

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

People think that feeding hyenas and letting a baboon comb my hair are amazing. I think that traveling my way - trying to blend in a culture as much as I can is the most amazing thing one can do

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm more than happy to share my experience in back packing when you're above 30, 40...... travel in the most local way I know and - how to really observe.
