CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm really social, open-minded and easy going person.

I'm interested in all kind of cultures, especially underground cultures. I'm writing my on zines (small magazines) about different kind of lifestyles. That kind of stuff what you can't find from your book store or kiosk. I like also gardening and my horticulturist studies will begin next autumn.

I'm now unemployed so I have lots of time to hang around with people who I host!

PHILOSOPHY
All is One!
