Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to meet people who make me grow and expand my mind
ABOUT ME
I am a worldly odd ball; an Eastern European who grew up in Asia and now resides in Australia.
Apparently my accent is borderline Canadian.
I live my life as it is an adventure and focus on numerous things at a time. Love cooking and trying great exotic food. Enjoy conversations about books, movies, social and political theories, human & animal rights, films, spirituality, philosophy, environment etc. I can be very engaging BUT also keep to myself at times.
I also like to have a bit of fun and go on little adventures, meeting all sorts of people :)
PHILOSOPHY
"An eye for an eye will leave the world blind" Ghandi

I went piranha fishing and swam in the swamps near the Amazon... tasted a tarantula, bungi jumped and dived at the Great Barrier Reef.
