About Me

Well, it is I guess hard to talk about yourself If you are asked like "Go tell stuff about yourself that will get people to like you." Even though it is not the purpose, I feel like most of us think twice about what to write, me included. So I will just go straight forward and tell that I am truly a hopeless romantic. I love to search something poetic in movies I watch, books I read, songs I listen and have to say this sometimes causes disappointment. World is not like, shall I say sunshine and unicorns I know that. However it is also majorly poetic and has to be discovered! Through the years I've learned that it is okay to dream, but it is perfect to live the dreams. So that is what I am trying to do, live them all. As Dumbledore says “Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.”

Interests

SUNSETS. POETRY. PHOTOGRAPHY. A perfect cliche but still amazing: getting lost in the streets of unknown cities. Or a better way to put it, as one of my friends once did: I want to lose me in the streets. Discovering the life people live, meeting new souls, to share, learn and live.

Music, Movies, and Books

MM, About music. Generally I like music that touches my soul, with lyrics with melody. Somehow. So there are a lot, but you know how these questions are like, when asked, there are certain ones that you have to mention like, Melody Gardot, Noir Desir, Angus & Julia Stone, Pearl Jam, I loooove Eddie Vedder's ukulele songs also, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Morrisey, Queen and of course without them this list would be so incomplete; The Beatles.

Well I can write for hours and still can not properly tell how much power Harry Potter has on my life. With books with movies, basically helped my throughout these years with everything.
Little Prince also. Whenever I feel blue, I find myself with the Little Prince.
I love distopias, Brave New World, 1984, Animal Farm...
Kafka, Boris Vian, Milan Kundera.

There is Mr.Nobody I can't live without. Candy. Moulin Rouge. Grease. Moonrise Kingdom, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. And of course; Lord Of the Rings!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maybe will sound funny to answer this question like this, but when asked directly like this, one word that pops up into my mind is "Erasmus." Was an amazing journey and an unforgettable period of my life that changed me a lot.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am new but I found Origami to be soothing and may have a few tricks :)
I define myself as an open-minded person and I love to listen. Stories, experiences, life.. Sharing is not a one way road and people need people to learn about life, world, different perspectives. Every person we meet contributes to our personality and life journey. Have to mention also, a small thing about my culture; we love to eat and love to share what we eat! And I am no exception:)
