About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To appreciate each day

ABOUT ME

**Working as a scientist for life, but not so boring one.
**My biggest passion is travelling. I've travelled to 28 countries at the moment, and always have in mind several places I would really love to explore. I love travelling so much so, that it became not only a hobby of mine but a way of life.
**Known to daydream on many an occasion..

**In love with those rare states of mind or feelings of awareness of world around myself or in myself..

**Really enjoys mornings on camping, moments riding a bike or a smell/taste of mum's homemade cookies or croissant..

**I adore that moment of complete darkness watching the full starts sky .

**From time to time - when I see a warm and healthy tree - I get a rush to climb it and stay there for a while /trying to overcome this/..

**Addicted to an ice-cream and to presence of some good people that I like to call my friends..

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent..
