I am a Dublin based photographer, editor, curator and educator, artist and adventurer! A person who loves to learn, stay focused and conscious, expand every horizon of my entity and keep both body and soul in ninja balance... and have some good fun on the side teaching and exchanging great vibrations with others. I am a curious cat, who is never afraid to look outside of the Schrödinger's box.

I have dedicated over decade of my life to study various disciplines and developed passionate love for art, photography, quantum physics, astronomy, astrobiology, sociology, theoretical science, from supermassive black holes to parallel universes to multidimensional nature of our existence. I have studied through countless piles of books on archaeology and forgotten traditions of indigenous tribes. I was in awe to read about new solutions for sustainable design and green technology, space probes, neuroscience, and as a beautiful conclusion, I finally stepped onto the most amazing path of spiritual awareness and internal expansion with holotropic breathwork, mindfulness, Tsa Lung yogic exercises, healing songs (Icaros) and deeply immersive work with plant based medicines and alternative healing techniques.

I work as a teacher and curator, living mostly in Dublin, Ireland for over 12 years, but also traveling and working from many places a lot. Currently on a World Tour de Force!

Visual arts and language have always been my main field of love and expertise and it quickly became my main tool of personal expansion and emotional release. Throughout the years I have taken part in multiple photography festivals initially as an artist, later as portfolio reviewer and recently as a jury member. Also worked as a photographer for few cool institutions, like Grotowski Theatre Institute. In 2011 I have established prism Contemporary Photography Magazine, an online editorial collective currently represented by e-magazine, photo blog and curatorial initiative: www.prismphotomagazine.com

Most recently, I have created and launched (The) Pangean Path, a research hub dedicated to cognitive intellectual evolution founded on four pillars of inspirational disciplines of: Art, Science, Traveling and Spirituality.
You are most welcomed to pay it a visit here: https://pangeanpath.tumblr.com/

To learn is to evolve. <3

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To expand my understanding of other cultures, to be constantly exposed to new and exciting stuff, to explore and discover what is best from planet Earth, Solar System and the Universe and and meet open-minded, beautiful alikes.

I would love to use this platform to create a connection for artistic, scientific and spiritual collaborations around the World (I have traveled to over 30 countries in the last couple of years) and share inspirations and co-create with you lovely bunch of amazing folks, art curators, life and wellness coaches, photographers, models and all those beautifully connected souls I constantly meet on the road.

Extraterrestrials are well welcomed too!

Interests

I try to keep both sides of my brain occupied and engaged, with both "I think therefore I am" and "I feel therefore I am" attitude.

I love: art, photography, travelling, teaching, learning, eLearning, dancing, science, nature, astronomy, secret shamanistic rituals, archaeology, ancient civilizations, documentaries, activism, mindfulness, jogging and conscious journalism.

I am also a practitioner of Tsa Lung, Tibetan yogic exercise that combines meditation, movement, breathing practices and vocal toning and Rebirth and Holotropic Breathing practices. The five Tsa Lung Exercises are movements that work with five chakra locations within the central channel of the body: the crown, throat, heart, navel and secret chakra.

I am basically interested in having a lot of fun and live my life happily, sharing happiness and love with others. Let's do our best to conserve our moments while we're here and our paths are crossed!

Music, Movies, and Books

There is simply too much to even start listing. I promise myself to sit down one day and expand this box to the proper amount. I love wicked stuff. Musically, anything eclectic goes, from Nine Inch Nails to piano sessions. Soap&Skin, Saul Williams, Clint Mansell, God is Astronaut are loved as much as random youtubers. Movies: more into documentaries rather then commercial movies. Books: not a big fan of bestsellers, poetry and science would be my choice.

No, honestly i will update this soon ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Doing things is amazing in itself, being here is ONE Amazing thing we're doing. Let's not fucking waste it.

But speaking of things, I actually managed to achieve few nice ones in my life. One of the most amazing thing I constantly do is living to my own rules. I do not follow a certain path or commit myself to one type of skin. I change it often. I EVOLVE and adapt. I LEARN. Doing different things, changing life angles make my life amazing, gives me proper distance, expands my horizons and gives me opportunity to live life to the fullest.

One Amazing Thing I'm Doing - I do EVOLVE. This is the most rewarding path.

In the past I have made an online game called zest riddle that was played by few million folks (and made no money of it :)), established an online magazine dedicated to contemporary photography called prism, gave a nice inspirational TedX talk, changed my job 10 times because I didn't like them, acted as a portfolio curator in Europe and Canada, recently been invited to participate as a jury member for International photographic prize. Life's good.

I also travelled a lot solo. Which I do consider a beautiful, personal and overall amazingly rewarding experience.
