About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get to know myself better

ABOUT ME

I'm a daydreamer in my mid 20s. I graduated from a university a couple of years ago and now I endure a bitter-sweet life of a full-time office worker. Although I find a steady, nine-to-five job acceptably comforting, I do my very best to develop my self-awareness through arts and creation. I enjoy writing and photographing. I draw most inspiration from films, books, fashion, music and traveling. I consider myself as an open-minded individual, art sensitive.

What I look for in a traveling experience is tasting, piece by piece, what's good and unique about different places around the world. I lust for car road trips across coastal hills, sipping a hot coffee in a chilly autumnal morning at an old cafe hidden in a side street of a Mediterranean town, falling asleep after a night-long festivities by lake at dawn, spending rainy afternoons in museums, having singing session on a rooftop, getting familiar with the bohemian city undergrounds.

PHILOSOPHY

Be yourself, everyone else is already taken. / Oscar Wilde
Some put their geniuses into their lives, others into their works of art.
Dare to be rare.
