ABOUT ME

I am a merciless optimist. Not that I am smiling all the day or that I am not able to see the bad things or don't have worries. But I still believe that our life is getting better and that there will be less wars and less misunderstandings the more different people and cultures we meet. Or maybe this is my excuse for using those bloody unecological airplanes ;)
Over the last years I've been cycling in many countries.
