CURRENT MISSION

enjoy the details of each day... live a creative but purposeful life

ABOUT ME

I've been a wandering soul for decades now... living in many countries, experiencing many lives/careers. Currently I'm living in an amazingly beautiful part of Turkey called Cappadocia - the village of Goreme to be exact. This is a spectacular part of this Earth with breathtaking landscapes, passionate music and a unique history and culture. I have a house (currently being remodeled...sorry, no guests for a few months) and lovely animals: 2 dogs, 1 horse and a donkey named Kadife (velvet). I prefer to live a very simple life and enjoy the moments we have now...I try to surround myself with people who can be themselves, not into gossip and who can relax and enjoy life as it happens.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy? just live a good life. Don't cause any damage to yourself, others or anything else if you can help it. If you can't then try to make the best choices with the information you have. Surround yourself with good people.

Music, Movies, and Books

love live music...watching any musician who is passionate and feeling what they play/sing. Books and movies - prefer something I can learn from (documentaries, history, etc) but occasionally like to indulge in light-hearted comedies or romantic films.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't think of only one... there have been so many amazing things I've seen and experienced. Each one came at time when I needed to learn or understand something significant. I can't say one was more or less important - they all made me who I am today. I just look forward to having more amazing things to see and do!
