CURRENT MISSION

Preparing a trip to Saint Petersburg, Kazan and Moscow :)

ABOUT ME

Quiet but curious guy. Love playing football (soccer) since I had 4 years old. Enjoy travelling, reading, cinema, partying, sports, meet people and experience new things. Love food (and wine of course). A little bit into consciousness development. Feeling not bound to any country, but instead being part of the world, and of the cosmos/universe. Recently I noticed some astronauts experiencing what is called the Overview Effect (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview_effect) which casually is coherent with the idea of vanished national boundaries :)

PHILOSOPHY

Nobody in our society is what he is. Everybody is being the person someone else wants him or her to be. We live with masks, and under the masks is emptiness, nothing is there. Nature is to take off the mask and reassert what you are. (A. Jodorowsky)
