About Me

[[ 2018 ROADMAP ]]

[[ So, in 2017 I was in Romania for few weeks but I didn't go again to some countries I wanted to, so this year is time to pay all my debts with the beautiful countries that touched my spirit, and hopefully go back to some of them. Furthermore, I'm so in love with Ukraine I will FOR SURE go this year since I didn't make it the last one. I'm looking forward to travel the Ukrainian lands for a whole month, and maybe live half a year in this loving country. Some of these might happen, most I already visited and want to go back so badly, but I can't know for sure if I'll make it yet: Romania, Denmark, Sweden, Lithuania, Italy, Greece, Russia. ]]

TRAVELING IS LEARNING!
=====================

CURRENT MISSION
I desperately feel the urge to be in constant motion; traveling is less about the places and more about the people to me, meeting crazy and interesting people, breathing through different worlds, that's what makes my heart breathe.

I'm almost fluent at three languages, now is time to learn more and to begin my exciting journey to polyglot-ism by embracing language learning and enjoying living through different languages.

ABOUT ME
Intrepid traveler.
Polymath interested in lots of things.
Nomad spirit that breathes through traveling.
Being that will embrace knowledge even if it's an agony.
Curiosity is my sin, expertise is just what I'm still very far away from.
Making and facing the angst and emptiness that surrounds the composer.
Affectionate creator interested in audio, visuals, code and any other experimental ways of making art.

PHILOSOPHY
◆ "I am human, and nothing of that which is human is alien to me." — Terence
◆ "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." — Saint Agustine
◆ "Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I’ll understand." — Chinese Proverb
◆ "I have labored carefully, not to mock, lament, or execrate, but to understand human actions." — Spinoza
◆ "I did not direct my life. I didn't design it. Things always came up and made them for me. That's what life is." — B. F. Skinner

What I Can Share with Hosts

I gladly talk about anything and everything, I think that everybody has something unique to offer.

I can help with language learning, talk about philosophy, culture, social science, politics, science, and lots of boring things who were wrote by dead people in a funnier way than they usually wrote them. I can discuss, share and enjoy music, literature and anecdotes.
