About Me

ABOUT ME

well! it's weird and hard to define ourselves (saying that is also weird. we’re supposed to know ourselves best). but considering myself as open minded, communicative, cosmopolitan, positive..
for best, try me ;)

PHILOSOPHY

about people: I think, in a way, every person looks like a unique book which subjects a unique story. Some are deep, some superficial but at the end each story has an exceptional influence on us in common.

about life and living i would say carpe diem or maybe i wish :)
