About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Pushing forward the limits!

ABOUT ME

Slowing down my extroverted lifestyle; going inwards to experience deeper understanding out of lots of experiencing and information overdosing. Finding myself staying in peace, grounded in my natural being wherever happens to me.

Every time is a good time
Every day is a good day
Every place is a good place
To BREATHE and be in the moment
Because this moment is my life.

PHILOSOPHY

When experience, skills and wisdom works together life appears as a neverending festival.

"20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn€™t do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
Mark Twain

Music, Movies, and Books

Fav.authors and philosophers - Kurt Vonnegut, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Jack kerouac, Haruki Murakami, Alan Watts, Pilevin etc.

Films can be very inspiring for me. I enjoy European and Asian directors and some Americans as well like - Kim Ki-Duk, Wong Kar-wai, Takeshi Kitano, Lars fon Treer, Bernardo Bertolucci, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Francua Ozon, Pedro Almodevar, Roman Polanski, Emir Custurica, Peter Greenway, Brothers Coen, Michael Gondry, Jim Jarmush, David kronenberg, Andrey Tarkovsky)

Discovering new music if for me like having a small crush. I get the strangest feeling of butterflies in my stomach when I listen to an album or band I really love. For a period I will have a passionate but brief relationship before I move on and fall in love again.
In my taste is different genre music; indie, rock, PSY,folk, classic, gypsy ska,reggae, jazz, sufi, Indian mantras.
