"If I were able to live anew, in the next world I would try to commit more errors. I would not try to be perfect, I would relax more. I would be more foolish than i've been, in fact I would take few things seriously. I would be less hygienic, I would run more risks, take more vacations, contemplate more sunsets, climb more mountains, swim more rivers. I would go more places where i've never been, I would eat more ice cream and fewer beans, I would have more real problems and less imaginary ones. I was one of those who never went anywhere without thermometer, a hot water bottle, an umbrella, and a parachute; if I could live again, I would travel lighter. I was one of those people who lived sensibly and prolifically each minute of his life; Of course I had moments of happiness. If I could go back I would try to have only good moments. Because if you didn't know, of that is life made: only of moments; Don't lose the now."

Namibia, its landscape, calls you to smile and participate.
Don't loose the now!
