About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To always follow my heart!

ABOUT ME

I'm 31 years old, happily divorced and traveling the world.
Educated as a software engineer, I worked with computers from 2002 until 2011.
In 2010, after not really playing any instruments since high school (when I played a little guitar and bass), I started getting back to music-playing, and started studying the bass.
Also in 2010, I got into the world of traditional shamanic medicine, and started actively participating in healing circles, singing and playing the guitar/bass/drum.
Recently, after divorcing (on good terms), I decided to quit my job and sell the apartment, and travel the world to seek new experiences and find out what I really want to do with myself :-)
Talk to me to find out more!

PHILOSOPHY

I am a citizen of the world. My LOVE is for ALL of humanity. I pledge allegiance to NO FLAG, NO COUNTRY. I do pledge allegiance to Love, wisdom, courage, insight, peace, devotion, & compassion. My anthem is OM and I pray for Love and Peace for all. The only flags I wave are prayer flags. I have no president, I cast no illusory votes, & standing naked in nature is my church. LOVE IS MY RELIGION. I AM FREE. ♥BE♥

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think that visiting the Wolong Panda Reserve in China in 2005 turned me into a child again for a few hours :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach basic musical theory and guitar and bass playing, the Hebrew and English languages (as well as basic Russian), as well as many songs in those languages, Indian mantras and bhajans and traditional Brazilian medicine songs.
I would like to learn more musical skills and practically anything interesting that will expand my horizons...
