ABOUT ME

How a singer of a friend of mine put it: "life is traveeeeel"... and well, I believe there's truth in it. At least, it's a goal, an objective in itself. And when you desire something so strongly, all the forces of the universe conspire to achieve your dream.
I believe we can all help each other travel in our own way!
