About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'd love to become familiar with local customs and traditons of people all around the world

ABOUT ME

I find myself as a selfless, serene person whose strongest characteristics is the fact that I'm a great fan of every kind of activity - from hiking and rollerskating to partying and reading books. I love mountain climbing as well, beacuse in my opinion overcoming obstacles helps you to mould the character. But I try to have a distance to myself and catch every little moment of my life. I really enjoy meeting new people, partying with them and playing board games.

PHILOSOPHY

"The first forty years of live gives us the text, the next thirty supply the commentary on it" - Artur Schopenhauer

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Undoubtly, the most amazing one is teaching English in primary school in a small village in Sri Lanka. I lived there with a local family for a few months and I had an excellent opportunity to experience real srilankan traditions and the customs. Not only I met loads of people from different cultural backgrounds but also I broadened my mental horizons. As for me it was a life-changing experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

As far as I'm concerned you can learn anything from anyone. Every person is interesting or has an interesting story to tell.
