Every person is a universe, and meeting and talking to new people is one the most enriching experiences in life. Once a friend of mine told me that ‘if you stay in one place for too long, you grow old’. One place doesn’t mean a physical place necessarily, to me it is about continuously exploring and learning, near or here or far and being open to new ideas, cultures, and new friendships.

I spent over 13 years living in one of the most cosmopolitan cities of the world - London, and recently relocated to Amsterdam, which is much smaller that London yet colourful in its cultural international diversity. Having spent all of my adult life in this culture made my eyes wide open to accept and embrace people from all over the world.

Things I like doing is spending time in nature, walking, swimming, hiking, looking for magic goats in the mountains. There is nothing else that gives me so much joy and inspiration as adventures in the wild! In my city life beyond work I have a new passion - bouldering, and also am doing all sorts of activities such as yoga, contemporary dance classes, running etc.

When it comes to sitting down, I am a total podcast lover. Tim Ferris, Joe Rogan, Sam Harris are my regular channels.

My profession is filmmaking, photography, and art making.

I love cooking and talking about food. and not only food... about everything that is genuine and honest :)
