CURRENT MISSION

see and understand the rest of the US

ABOUT ME

I love learning new things and meeting interesting people. I think there is a lot to learn from the people around you and I would like to stay open to that. I want to learn from different environments and different lifestyles. I think it is essential to slow down and listen to the things going on around you. I also enjoy exploration and opportunities to be creative.
I feel as though I am pretty easy to get along with and I am extremely respectful to the needs of those around me.

Martin is a very thoughtful and kind person. He loves music and plays the guitar very well. We both love to read and traveling is very important to us. We love food and enjoy trying all sorts of new dishes while traveling. We hope to see a lot of beautiful things and learn more about ourselves and our environment in the process.

PHILOSOPHY

Still working on this... probably something along the lines of keeping it simple and not forgetting to have a good time.
