Merry Christmas!

Jumping in the desert during my China-Mongolia trip in September 2009

I have such a lot to say and I don’t know how to say it.
It has been amazing for me to see how well 43rumors works. I made so many friends trough it, I learned a lot about things I didn’t know before, I didn’t sleep many nights, I went desperated few times, but loved to work and write for you.

You don’t know me and I don’t know most of you. But I really wish you all the best. I wish you a relaxing time with your family and well-deserved rest from your work and daily stress. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
