About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I would like to see and experience this world. People, cultures, traditions, wisdoms, thinking, eating, travelling, different perspectives, angles, opinions, sense of happiness

ABOUT ME

I am a student who became crazy about languages. I have the idea that you can start a lot of them so if you some time need it, you know how to continue in learning it just yourself. That is why I am trying to do my best in Chinese right now:) I absolutely adore traveling, meeting new people and comparing. I usually realize how rich I am - I have hands, legs, I can read and breathe. But it does not mean that I meet just ill people, not at all! Comparing always forces me to change my values and needs. To think simply, live simply, always say THANK YOU several times, smile when the smile is needed, and keep in touch with friends. So here I am,trying to get up everyday with a smile and think positively.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything can be simple. YOU NEED LESS.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a volunteer when Dalai Lama and buddhist monks from Tibet came to the university to create a sand mandala. It was amazing, I completely forgot about my normal life and spent hours just watching. At the end, when mandala was finished, there was a closing ceremony and they destroyed it. Half of the sand was given to people and half was thrown to the water as a symbol for us that we should not be attached to materialistic life. Some did not get the message of enlightement and wanted to get the sand really impolitely. I was standing in the corner, watching them and I did not needed any sand. Why? I did understand the message and I am little proud of myself.
