About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience life with an open beating heart, to live in the moment and create an indestructible beauty.

ABOUT ME

Describing myself is a mission impossible!

I'm full of opposites. An extroverted introvert or an introverted extrovert. Very playful, but sometimes serious. Nice guy and a bad boy. I'm a writer who loves parties and going out. You figure that out. ;)

I'll try differently: travel, people, music and literature - things that give taste to my life.

You can always check out my website to find out more:

PHILOSOPHY

All people are good, you just have to let them show it.
