CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to share my experiences and to be part of this incredible community.

ABOUT ME

I'm a relatively young guy who likes travelling around and meeting people. I love learning languages and new skills. Since I was very small I've been drawing and creating my own comics and characters. Now I'm fleshing out a kind of series of illustrated short stories. I love literature and art but at the same time I find it interesting to chat with new and old friends about any conceivable topic. I don't drink to much but I never refuse a good beer or a glass of red wine (my favourite).

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life as it is and always take advantage and learn from your mistakes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm... I was very excited the day I visited the Tate Modern. It was one of my wet dreams to be in that building. The collection is impressive and the architecture is amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like teaching languages and how to draw and paint. I'd like to know how to cook properly since my knowledge on the subject is very limited.
