About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Planning trip to Singapore, departing 11 Nov. 2016, then heading into Malaysia to reach Kuala Lumpur and fly out on the 25th of Nov.

ABOUT ME

After my family and I got back from Canada in 2000 I started making lists of all the places I wanted to go and even plan fictional routes to take with a pencil in my dad's encyclopedia. When I was fifteen I won a year of high school in the United States. A month after I got back, I went on a trip to Honduras.After graduation the chosen study didn't work out and I worked as a private teacher in the U.S.With family and from my sixteenth on, I have traveled all over Europe, from Belgium to France, Spain, Austria, Germany, Denmark, Great-Britain, Hungaria, Luxembourg. Staying at camp-grounds, of course.From Feb. 2012 on I was a student at National Taiwan University, in Taipei, Taiwan, afterwards graduated from my BA and left for Paris (and later London, where I still find myself to day) to do an MA through the University of Warwick.
