About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Live long, happy and productive life. Share the knowledge and opportunities that I have opened. Step independently around the world. Grow the number of like-minded, trustworthy people who contribute to more harmonious, peaceful and liberated society. Heal my illnesses and give others the instruments to treat themselves. Create a big knit family and healthy base for my future children.

ABOUT ME
I feel good when I communicate, learn and share. Travelling is one of the ways to do all these. I grew up in Moldova, studied and worked in Russia, travelled in Southeastern Asia and Europe for years, learned different ways to heal, to serve, to share. I volunteered on Workaway projects and served at Vipassana courses, I like both going to the temple or to the jazz bar, to Google office or to the secret nature spot. I live in Bali now.
