About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Working on a number of creative projects, around philosophy of existence, futurism, and sci-fi fiction. Life is wonderful!

ABOUT ME

Fascinated by the universe and all the adventures it has to offer. Love to laugh, learn and spend time with interesting and fun people. Life is not there to be taken too seriously.

PHILOSOPHY

Leave a positive impact on those you meet, and those you don't, and never will. The meaning and purpose of life is beyond our comprehension, but still worth exploring without ego nor expectation. Keep a smile on your face and those you're with. Be true to yourself and others. Always grow, expand your horizons, and be open to opportunities. Be humble and exotic, and aware of yourself. Fly by the seat of your pants, and take risks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycled 2400km from Budapest to Istanbul in sweltering heat with no training or knowledge of long bike rides. No major injuries. A relatively bonkers idea, full of moments of joy and terror. Cycling into Istanbul on the 3 lane motorway was terrifying and exhilarating!

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy sharing what I've learned in my little life on this spinning rock... but what do I know?
