About Me

Salut friends, brothers and sisters with which we are sharing this universe. For now I’m a programmer that probably someday will write book about his life while traveling. Going from notes in a diary, essays with a thoughts when I’m trying to explain meaning of what’s going on by my way and about people who touched my soul in everyday life or trips. About last one I hadn’t a lot but thankful to circumstances that leaded me to start exploring places in the world and decreased my fears that I still have a lot.

For now when I’m updating my profile from Italian town named Ancona, traveling with my friend and sharing everything we have, that brings really nice and rich experience. More than 10 countries, at some point I stoped counting days in a road and it just goes someway. With ups and downs, but definitely for good.

If to talks about me I’m still quite shy person, sometimes I can talk a lot if have real connection with someone, but after a lot of spoken stories feel exhausting. Silence helps us to understand how far away we were from each other (as it sings in one of my favorite songs) and to feel a magic of being side by side. It could be short time or lot of years, exchanges with travel dudes that will continue in a future or just have one time nature, but who knows exactly.

I love nature, have a lot of dreams that mostly directed to break old version of me who always have doubts or says “It’s impossible”. It was about traveling, running and o lot of other things before. But past year I made my oldest dream come true and travelled around Iceland, it was just two weeks, but most amazing solo trip from which I got know myself better. This year I ran my first half-marathon, marathon and even 50 kilometers that is half of ultra. It was invaluable spiritual experience and beginning for something more, don’t know for what exactly 😀

I love to help people, travelers or my mates. Stuck in my effort to study drawing and playing guitar, for now focused more on writing cause as I think it’s best I can do and could push me to new openings in arts.

I used to be vegan, switched to vegetarian and eat mostly everything when on the road, but went to explanation that should consume just food which doesn’t damage environment and slowly going this path as well.

For people who wanna stay at my place I have a password go-go wild. It’s not obligatory and if I have free time I can host you anyway, especially if you’re hitchhiker and kind of free spirit. Also in a past I took acting classes that gave me a lot of knowledge about me and how much I can grow inside.
