About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To build underground channels between Tenerife and Europe

ABOUT ME

ALL (hehe) about me: From shy school pupil I had become one of the lost youth of post-communist Budapest. Then I got married and moved to the countryside to take care of our organic garden in the countryside for 6 years. Then I was a freelance translator and literary researcher for some years, then I turned into tranceparty-organizer. I got divorced, left Hungary to become a travelling street artist and after two years I've found my actual home on Tenerife in a cave. And I am still only halfway :)

PHILOSOPHY
