About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world

ABOUT ME

I am a person who likes to go on an adventure and explore the world. I cannot stay in one place for too long, I must be in a constant movement, making new discoveries, meeting new people. I can talk throughout the entire night drinking wine and smoking cigarettes. Oh yes, I like talking! I like discussions of any sort but I'm a good laugh too, so I'm not incredibly serious either, no worries! I don't like taking things for granted because I believe that life is a magical gift. I dislike boredom and arrogance more than anything in the world - both can drive me nuts very fast. The purpose of my life is to enjoy it!

PHILOSOPHY

"I'm like a bird on a wire always tried to be free." LEONARD COHEN

“I sometimes longed for someone who, like me, had not adjusted perfectly with his age, and such a person was hard to find; but I soon discovered cats, in which I could imagine a condition like mine, and books, where I found it quite often.” JULIO COTAZAR

“It's enough for me to be sure that you and I exist at this moment.” GABRIEL GARCIA MARQUEZ

"Don't play what's there, play what's not there. " MILES DAVIS

"Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash." LEONARD COHEN

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ohhh yeah, that was rather spectacular! I was flying in the air balloon above Vilnius in Lithuania, my crazy dad organized that as a present for my mom's birthday. My life, I thought we would crash into some sovietic building with no mercy, there was the fire over my head - or the so called burning gas - not funny at all. Everyone seemed to be relaxed except me and my ex-boyfriend who was freaking out just the same. My head was spinning around, I had vertigos - no need to take any drugs, just get into that thing I you will see your life turning up side down. My life - what an experience! But, yes I've survived it though, after 30 minutes of torture some pleasure have been finally achieved and I now want to jump out of the plane or do something as stupid as that. That was actually amazing! Yeah, I agree - it was amazing in its own way! To be suspended up in the sky - scary and amazing! Ah - freedom!
