About Me

CURRENT MISSION

For a moment: I really, really want to finish my studies.

ABOUT ME

I'm positive and easy going.

PHILOSOPHY

I simply believe that if you are good for the world, the world is good for you. No other complicated religions.

Tried to live according to that motto:
"You are never given a dream without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however" R. D. Bach

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I've taken "The School Under Sails" (as a student) on the board of STS Fryderyk Chopin. That experience have changed my life. In 2013 I spent almost 8 months on this ship being maths teacher, instructor and then third mate. We crossed Atlantic Ocean, went from Europe to Caraibbean Islands and then came back to Baltic Sea.
