Rants & Rambles

Rants & Rambles

I‘m a natural storyteller. Not stories as in fantasies, stories as in unbelievable adventures. Call it lucky or unlucky but either way my life is never boring. Anyone who has ever met me in real life can testify that I have some damn entertaining stories. The situations I manage to get myself into never cease to amaze me. From being locked up abroad to partying with celebrities, there is no telling what’s going to happen with each new country. And yes, sometimes my stories turn into rants and rambles. Sometimes the views expressed here may be a little controversial. Sometimes the stuff I say might even offend you. But you know what? That’s why you read these rants and rambles. So enjoy!
