CURRENT MISSION

Prowl around the world, hoping to bump into self-fulfillment on my way

ABOUT ME

I'm an open-minded philosophy student with aesthetic sensibility. One of my most important goals in life is to find beauty in every little thing. I'm fond of adventure and I highly value insight and delicacy. I'm socially versatile but I try not to renounce my [sometimes] unconventional way of handling everyday situations.

PHILOSOPHY

Go out there and live life intensely

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed the Southern Urals, with absolutely no trace of civilisation around me

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I'm a passionate philosophy student, I can introduce you in the subject :-)
I'm also a very enthusiastic ballet dancer, I'd love to share anything about its sublime, graceful moves.
I can also teach Spanish, English and Basque (in case you are interested in rare isolated languages ^^)

I'd love to learn more about photography, any kind of body expression and nice, eccentric or unconventional facts about radiant people
