About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Feed well my curiosity about the world!

ABOUT ME

My mission has always been to communicate, I guess, either with others or with myself. I am curious and love meeting and getting to know new people. I love travelling and experiencing new "worlds" and possibly making friends with people in places I visit because you don't really get to know a certain culture if you don't communicate with its people. Organized tourism is generally really boring to me. I find it also interesting to host people at home as well and to spend some time with them because it gives me a different perspective to the place and country I live, and it's always curious....

PHILOSOPHY

I am generally very open-minded and not too gudgemental, I think, and if you don't point your finger at me, I will most probably not point mine on you :) I am tolerant and I try to experience joie de vivre with the many colours life has to offer. And I love travelling, I grab most of the possibilities for that!

Music, Movies, and Books

A large variety of film titles come to my mind ranging from In The Mood for Love, most of the dogma and generally Scandinavian movies, especially Danish and Swedish, or Magnolia, The Hours, Moulin Rouge (+the rest of Baz Lurhman), Memento, Fatih Akin - all!!!, etc. Music - U2, DM, ethno (Baba Zula), George Michael and so much more. Books: magical realism, all by Agatha Christie, Orhan Pamuk, Dimitar Dinev, Romain Gary, Anton Chekhov, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one, wow! Seeing the Taj Mahal three times already and every time experiencing it in a new way, with a different attitude towards the "legend of the greatest love story ever". It gives me an idea of how a legend never changes but the way you perceive it from a personal point of view with each passing year could be quite different. So, now I know, my opinion of each place I visited is quite tentative :)...
