About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Let's hit the road and leave our names at home

PHILOSOPHY

I adhered long ago (10 years) to a vegan lifestyle and there hasn't been a single day I have been regretting it. This said, people can hardly consider me a hippie. so no, I don't dress in hemp clothes and join crystal therapy groups or preach about reaching your inner self and prioritize spiritual life over material, blah blah... BOOOORING!!! DANCE TONIGHT! REVOLUTION TOMORROW!

Interests

Foreign languages & cultures, movies, tattoos, music, travelling, meeting people.
