CURRENT MISSION

To travel and meet new people, ideas and different ways of living life different from the vast majority of society

ABOUT ME

At the beginning I might give the impression that I'm shy .. but I just take my time in observing people around me :) Curious, friendly, sense of humor. I enjoy reading a lot, swimming ...
Right now I'm trying to push my limits and find out what am I good at outside a multinational company :))
I "can say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one" ..
I didn't want to continue in the International Relations fields because I believe that you can become just another wheel in the huge diplomatic world apparatus with very low chances to really help anyone. I would rather volunteer or sneak in conflict areas than wait for instructions while people are suffering.
As long as you keep alive the desire to listen and learn, you can learn from every person you meet something ..

PHILOSOPHY

"Those bitten by the wild will live on/ But those who use to bite have gone" " Hooverphonic :D
Whatever happens in your life as long as you're alive you can always move on.

Teach, Learn, Share

Above I've mentioned a list of books and movies which are not put there to impress, but for other people to have some reading and movies ideas. So I love to share my knowledge about books I've read / movies that I've seen and how they've changed my life or inspired me.
I also love to share and to listen to peoples experiences from and in other cultures. It's fascinating for me to meet people from places which I've already read about.
