CURRENT MISSION

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better!

ABOUT ME

It seems weird to explain myself.
I like travelling, reading, learning, listening.
I am affected by Zen, Tao and Sufism. My life is search of existence: Know yourself! I love being on the road. I love meditation and silence.
I like to discover new ways to explore inner self!

PHILOSOPHY

"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." Mevlana
