Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I am back in London after travelling around the world with my friend Andreas. Our goal was to raise money for UNICEF, UNESCO and the UNHCR, see the world, meet the locals and celebrate friendship.
ABOUT ME
I like to study and have several degrees ranging from film and documentary to Media and Diplomacy. I also like to read a lot, lately more fiction, but current affairs , history and philosophy has been a staple reading since I was young, and I’m always happy for recommendations on books to read next.
I’m also gay, but I don’t need a flashing light on top of my head to say so (there are many other defining things in my life like being vegetarian), however, I’ll defend the right of anyone in the world to love whom ever they want fiercely, love is love. I detest racism and xenophobia too, so you know.
I collect as many coins and notes as I can (some stamps too) from all the countries in the world I visit. I have a nice collection but I could always add more, so if you want to make me really happy, bring me some and I could exchange them, if there is a special story about them, the better. I often go for coins that has been in circulation and have been touched by people, and have some stories to tell, but to be honest, any coin makes me happy. Do you collect anything? Tell me about that on your request please. One day I’ll tell all the stories about my coins collection; an interesting chapter will be my meeting with the Director at the Central Bank of Myanmar where I got some coins from him...
Together with my friend Andreas, I recently travelled the world for about 3 consecutive years with a project called froute; it has been a life changing experience and I encourage anyone reading this to go out and travel. Do it.
PHILOSOPHY
We share this world

Edit 2018: I have read more than 30 books since I wrote that. Will update at some point , in the meantime could you recommend a book or an author? Cheers.
