ABOUT ME

Traveling and meeting new people is the greatest ability of every person's life. Why should we waste it? I travel occasionally by hitch-hiking as it is the best way to meet the country, it's people and it's culture, to see the gut. Over the last couple years I'm more into backcountry trips. I consider my life an opportunity to experience as much as I can, to leave a smile in other people souls.

My major is in economics/innovations, but the circle of my interest is far beyond, as a result I worked in a number of spheres in international development.

Sure we'll find lot's of thing to discuss wherever you come from.
