CURRENT MISSION

Just sticking around

ABOUT ME

I am optimistic and curious (always), open-minded, bon-vivant (especially in the evening, currently trying to extend this to 24/7), lazy (at times), easy-going (most of the time) so...

Likes: my job; travelling; discovering new things; good wine (esp red); meeting interesting people; occassional "doing nothing".

Dislikes: all kinds of intolerance; pretty much anything that limits one's personal freedom; boredom; crapy books.

PHILOSOPHY

It's pretty much "enjoy it while it lasts". For that reason I prefer good food (which is hardly ever healthy and/or organic), have no retirement plan and no religious beliefs/views (I am agnostic, so my official position is that anything is possible).

Interests

Arts and all the related topics; human mind and how it works; making this world a better place (still figuring out how I can contribute); personal and professional growth; cooking; salsa music and dancing.

Music top 3: Cranberries, Lester Young and
Books top 3: J. Cortazar "The hopscotch", M. Kundera "The unbearable lightness of being" and something else I haven't read yet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Still looking foreward to that one.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am interested in all the aspects of learning and not just "learning to get a degree/qualification/access to a profession" or "learning to do your job better/to make more money", but also learning in a larger context, learning as an ever lasting process, as an experience which defines who we are and how we live our lives. I also believe in the power of intraspection/self-analyse as a skill designed to shape our lives. I'm always happy to share and exchange any knowledge at all (there are very few things I am not curious about).
