About Me

CURRENT MISSION

It is about balance in life, writing a book about creativity, starting with my music career and electronic ensamble.

ABOUT ME

I like traveling (obviously) and live through my inner happy nature, discover new ideas and places, chat with some nice people and learn something about them and myself, go hiking into the wild, do ice swimming, cycling, skii jumps... Live active life but also take it easy and write, read books or just meditate. Currently I'm working as a film and language teacher.

I also like every kind of creative activities and I'm quite happy when I can somehow support this creativeness in everyone because we all have this apart of ourselves.

PHILOSOPHY

It is said, "the meaning of life is to give life meaning(s)," so how we see and percive the world is something we can choose and co-create with others. But we can also let the life create through ourselves.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I went to Nigeria as a volunteer (teaching in schools and making interviews for my documentary) and lived there for four months - it has been really interesting time in my life. I discovered so much new about myself and other people. It is amazing how fast everything is developing when you change the environment you are used to or you make a big change in yourself. But changing the location really helps to see this "I" as something much more wider or multi-dimensional. People there in Nigeria lived a totally different life as I have experienced (for example the sense of time), so to get to understand them I had to experiment with new ways of life or observing the things.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to share ideas and friendship, share something about my environment and culture. And as naturally as it comes, I can help with learning some language, making arts or music or even more specific things. I am interested in stories and ideas. So really many things actually. :)
