Travel Philosophy
As Ghandi wisely said "You must be the change you want to see in the world." Never be afraid to get your hands dirty, to play, eat, sleep and breathe as the people you are surrounded by do, and above all remember that you are the visitor, always think in the local currency, don't expect western conveniences, avoid special treatment and try to speak the local language - the rest will take care of itself!

Dream destination: Azores, The Trans Mongolian Railway and Central and South America!
