About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling the world and trying to see and experience as many different people and cultures as possible

ABOUT ME

-

Interests

When I am not traveling, doing sports (volleyball and training for a half marathon), spending time with friends or studying (economics), then I do some writing.
It contains everything from philosophy, about ambivalent people's behaviour to descriptions of the all day life. And I like it because it can be a form to organise one's thoughts.

Music, Movies, and Books

There is a couple of books and authors to mention: I like especially d.f. wallace`s infinite jest and his short stories, the books from t.c boyle and Charles Bukowski as well.
To add to the list:
○ thus spoke Zarathustra, f. Nietzsche
● the art of loving, erich fromm
○ the alchemist, paulo Coelho (good stuff when travelling)

I prefer Hip-Hop, Jazz and elctro swing, but from time to time I am ok with other kinds of music, too.

movies:
○ snatch
● lock, stock and two smoking barrels
○ inglorious basterds
● almost best friends
○ what's in a name?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Generally there are a lot of amazing places I have already seen thanks to my travelling trough Sri Lanka and Australia (e.g. World's End or Whitsundays). But it is not a certain place which makes a moment amazing, it's the people you meet in a place who create alltogether a special atmosphere.
So the most amazing experience I had in a shabby cabin where I stayed a night before seeing World's End (Sri Lanka). I shared a dorm with people from Ireland, France, Canada and Australia. I believe under "ordinary" circumstances we would have never met but thanks to travelling you meet a lot of different people with different backgrounds who broaden one's mind- that's it!
