About Me

https://www.instagram.com/lokomocja/

I'm a curious little creature; I like meeting new people, hearing their songs, seeing places, knowing their points of view. Hungry for life and the appetite grows with eating. :)

I love the feeling when going somewhere far, it's exciting to know that at the end of the journey there's a whole new thing to explore, to be surprised at, to learn about.

No ism, no schism.

Kuka voi itsensä voittaa, ei koskaan häviä.

"Man is unhappy because he doesn't know he's happy. It's only that."

- Own only what you can carry with you; know language, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag. - Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Don't listen to what they say. Go see. - Chinese proverb

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new landscapes, but in having new eyes. - Marcel Proust

Interests

You, me, the language, the nature, history and science, the space, humans, the music, the Sun and what else is there. World is a really fascinating place.

I like touching old buildings and trying to imagine all the stories their walls have seen throughout the ages, I like going into the unknown or forgotten, to heaven and/or hell for extreme benchmarks, ...or just to sit down on a sofa, eating jelly bears, watching funny stories or reading, depends on the day. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Went through the stages of listening to all different kinds of music, not necessairly (even closely) related, my playlists are all messed up :)

Movies and books - there is a lot, but I could mention "Samsara" the movie and "Scrooge's Cryptic Carol. Visions of Energy, Time and Quantum Nature" - I got it from my brother when I was small(er), since then I want to be an astronaut. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting my ass frozen while sitting on the frozen Baltic See and watching the Northern Lights dancing on the night sky.

Teach, Learn, Share

There's always something you can learn from another person. Getting to know about the others helps us to see ourselves. I can teach you two of the craziest languages in Europe - Polish and Finnish. I studied linguistics so I always enjoy getting to know new words in all them languages. And cooking! Cooking is fun, I'm always willing to learn some new recepies to bring them home.
