About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live in as many countries as possible in this life and to experience as much as possible.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently 31 years old and I've been living in several countries in the world. Greece, Iran, India, pakistan, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Cambodia. And now I'm living in Moscow.
I worked in all of these countries as a language teacher and next to that I did a lot of extensive travelling. I know the nice travel destinations in many countries. So if you want to make any nice trip. Ask me for some advice.

PHILOSOPHY

It's hard to say and if I had to write down all my philosophies here It would be a long story. I'll tell you once you meet me in person.
I guess we are all having our experience in order to learn. Life is one big lesson and what we sense outside of ourselves is what is happening inside us.

- Cycling from Hanoi to Cambodia
- Travelling over the karakuram Highway

Teach, Learn, Share

Not sure how I can contribute on this. I'm working on obtaining esotherial knowledge, But I'm still in the beginners Phase.
I can help people with optimising their CV's if they need to. (a bit of bluff is never wrong I believe)
