CURRENT MISSION

Invest your money not in things but in emotions, experiences and your future memories.
Life is an endless dessert that you can eat with the biggest spoon possible.

My mission is to develop myself, my career and passion. It is about never settling with any kind of success, but constantly searching for making myself better. It is about loving people in general, taking care of my closes ones – family and friends – but also helping anyone around, bringing a bit more kindness and positive attitude to the world. I love making someone smile, and I believe it is important to always make an extra effort to make this happen. My mission is also about always be in the move: moving around my city, around the world travelling, but also doing sports daily – it just all brings so much quality and true happiness to life.

ABOUT ME

I'm working in YouTube, enjoying to meet so many talented people. I my spare time, I also enjoy travel journalism. Had my travel company arranging trekking trips around authentic mountain villages in the Caucasus mountains in Georgia.

I love meeting new people, and the people around are the thing which inspires me the most. I'm free of stereotypes and can get along with different personalities. I love sports and being active, trying new things and learning (yup, I love learning :D)

PHILOSOPHY

Make the world better. Be persistent - otherwise, there is no matter in starting doing anything. Seize moments and people. Work on yourself. Work on your own happiness. Be kind to everybody. Do what you want now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

>>Went to Svalbard, having no money and no place to stay there. When standing in the line to board the plane from Oslo to Longyearbyen, heard Russian, came up to the people and asked them, if they could host us. Surprisingly, they could ;)

>>Got into a situation, when a police officer in Bosnia ordered his policemen to catch a car, which could give a lift for me and my friend.

>>Was given a lift by the ambassador of Iran in Portugal

>>Went surfing in Portugal, though I cannot swim :)

>>Being 11, promised myself to get back to Barretstown camp (Ireland) as a volunteer. Volunteered there 8 years later.

>>Went to a 14-hour wild horse riding trip while not even being able to ride a horse. Learned how to do it on the go, fell down from a running horse.

>>;Dumpsterdiving

>>Opened a travel company in Georgia

>>learned how to ski and downhill bike at the age of 24 (and conquered my fears!)
