About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live love explore

ABOUT ME

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion./A. Camus/

I'm an active, sensitive person that tries to be open to the world and people and try to live my life as good as i can.

Every time I come back from long traveling period I feel the world is full of great people to know and to discover.

I love the feeling of freedom when the only things you have are those necessary items in your backpack, than you focus on other values.

PHILOSOPHY

Being open even to the most ridiculous things and above all with a respect to others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a group of women baking tortillas in a dark interior in Chiapas (Mexico) where just a little bit of light was coming from the narrow window.
Hard to explain but it was beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learn to be in here and now and to enjoy the moment. I'm learning how to slow down and keep the balance of what is inside of me and outside. I learn to share responsibly with respect to my own boundaries. So much to learn still... :)
I like to share my thoughts with friends, I enjoy simplicity, nature and deep conversations.
