About Me
ABOUT ME
gahhh... about me in a box..
im 20, and currently studying social anthropology in athens at panteion university on erasmus. before this i was living in brighton in england and before that manchester. i love to make travels and trips, big and small, go to a lot of gigs/parties and dance like a loon all night, go to a lot of festivals and dance like a loon all weekend, meet new people and have crazy chats, find new places and see crazy things. i dont however like to go on and on about myself, so you will find out more if you ever meet me! but in general im an easy going, friendly person who is open minded and likes to experience new things!
PHILOSOPHY
"i only want to live in peace and plant potatoes and dream" ahhh ... the moomins had it right all along.
reality is relative, we all have our own views.. for me i believe in anarchy and DIY ethics, we must never stop questioning everything we are fed with a spoon, and never stop working with those around us to find alternatives. i like to look for the good in people, together anything is possible! respect goes a long way.
colonialism started to destroy the world and capitalism is finishing the job off. people, animals and land are not property, to see them only for their monetary value is to loose the point of life.

Music, Movies, and Books
phwoar...! too too many to list.
i love punk/folk/reggae/gypsy swing/balkan/motown/soul/jungle/DnB i could go on and on and on, but basically any music that has some kind of soul and passion, whether its in the lyrics or the chords, if the person singing/playing is having a wicked time i will be too! i love live music when you can see the band is having it! i hate shit generic music made for money.
as for books.... i wont get into that too much, but to give a small idea the book i have next to me at the moment is "pathologies of power, health human rights and the new war on the poor" by paul farmer. i get to read a lot a lot of interesting books with my course, and have always enjoyed reading so the list would be too long to write here!
