About Me
ABOUT ME
Here are some random collection of different facts about me.
I'm a lucky londoner, freelance graphic designer and extreme sports lover. I like riding a motorbike and working with my laptop in the park. I was born in mountains i guess that's why all my favourite places have high altitude and I feel nice when the horizon is far and there is plenty of open space around me.
I love nature and countryside, although i enjoy big cities as well with their diversity of people and possibilities. I like staying awake when everyone around me is already sleeping, i feel some magic in the night time especially before sunrise.
I enjoy all sorts of creative work, and have dozens ideas circling my head all the time, although only few of them became reality so far. 'Responding to change over following a plan' as agile manifesto says.
I'm constantly self educating via reading books, my favourite ones are Sci-Fi, esoteric and philosophy. I love watching movies and fascinated how easy i can escape my reality for a couple of hours and enter someone else's, I'd love to make a movie one day too.
I never liked to eat intelligent and sentient creatures so I became vegetarian at some point of my conscious life. I take responsibility for my actions and hope my life will be more of use then damage to our planet and its inhabitants.
I'd love to travel everywhere, visit every country, learn every language, clime every mountain and go to Extraterrestrial eventually but life will show what's possible.
Being generally very happy and positive i sometimes like to be sad and melancholic it just makes happiness more delightful.
I guess we're changing every day so these random facts describe who i was till now and I'm curious myself who I'll become tomorrow.
PHILOSOPHY
I am the alien on this planet and being so i absorb and experience everything around me with curiosity, passion and enjoyment. I treasure every moment of my limited life here and trying to make the most out of it but I'm aware that other leaving creatures around me are doing the same so I figured out we'd better help each other.
