About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to find my own way.

ABOUT ME

I've been living here and there. I have done this and that:):)

I like discovering new places and starting new projects
I love Central-Eastern Europe

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever works:)

...and my favourite:
Shit happens...Vonnegut, isn't it?

Do what you love and do it often. Life is about the people you meet, and the things you create with them so go out and start creating. Life is short. Live your dream and share your passion.
