CURRENT MISSION

To change the world (but this goes without saying ;))

ABOUT ME

To keep it short, I would describe myself as a calm person who might seem to be shy. But if you get to know me better you'll see that I can get quite talkative. I'd describe myself as a gregarious, sociable person who likes to have good company and interesting discussions.

Working with children is pretty important for me. At the moment I work in a children's home (kind of a protectory) for pre-school children and babies. I like the idea of being able to make a difference.

PHILOSOPHY

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustine

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Don't regret anything you do, because in the end, it makes you who you are.
