About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Let it Be

ABOUT ME

I enjoy philosophising... but ya, at the same time, love to joke around and laugh about.
I enjoy my moments of solitude, yet also love meeting people chatting all night.
I try to be MYSELF, yet am addicted to facebook.
I like reading books at home, on my comfy sofa..., but even more, travelling around the world, to explore it's magnitude both inside and out.
I am not religious, but trying to find spirituality.

PHILOSOPHY

'We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next, to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes, and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently... dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again, to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.' --- Pico Iyer

Life is Beautiful. Embrace to emptiness. We must keep dancing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

* I walked across Egypt, 1000 km, in the course of 32 days. What's so special is that... i only spent 30 euros in the entire journey.

* I cycled from Lithuania -> Poland -> Germany -> Czech -> Austria -> Slovakia -> Hungary -> Serbia -> Romania -> Bulgaria -> Greece... in the course of 3 months, and because in every country i managed to find a couchsurfer, i did not spend a single penny for accomodation.

*I walked and hitchhiked all the way from Jo'berg to Capetown (7 weeks). Sleeping under a bridge on a highway road... asking local tribes whether i can pass the night in their mud huts + dinner... for 3 euros.

*During my week holiday in Bali, I jogged 18 hours... just to save my 7 dollars bus fare.

*I was spinning on my head... in a museum in Peru.

Teach, Learn, Share

What makes you a TRAVELLER... is not the number of countries you've visited, the ROAD you've chosen,... nor the way you've travelled the ROAD you selected. It's whether you can open up your heart to people amd differnces... and be consumed by every beauty that lies in existence. To slow time down, and embrace change as well as stillness. To be content, and let yourself BE.
