About Me

CURRENT MISSION

chasing the white rabbit

ABOUT ME

I love to open my eyes in the new city and listen to its sounds and spend my day with walking down its streets without checking the names of those. I am always dreaming of the springtime, cause its the time to take my backpack and hitchhike to an unknown destination and forget this neverending ticking sound. During my travels i like to think about myself as a self maid anthropologist who is observing the vibes of the new city and its people by trying to behave as a one of them.

PHILOSOPHY

I don’t necessarily agree with everything I say.
