About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, feel good, don't stress...

ABOUT ME

I'm a very positive person. I always look at the bright side of life, enjoy stupid humor and seeing me sad is a rare thing. I like to have people around, to hang out with friends. I'm quite relaxed, being stressed is really not my thing. (I think it's a waste of time and energy.)

I'm working on a freelance base, e.g. organising music events for deaf, hard of hearing and hearing people, where you experience music through all your senses.

Furthermore... I love food and like to experience different tastes (just vegetarian). I like to go to a good party (like breakcore, dubstep, techno, electro) or festival (like Dour or Lowlands). So in short, I like to enjoy life in a relaxed way, surrounded by nice and positive people. Wanna know more? Just ask!

Just a little bit of an impression.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling around in Arizona and California. I was just fourteen and with my parents, but it was great to see all the beautiful nature like the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley.

Travelling over land from Moscow to Bangkok with two friends. When travelling over land you experience a lot of the area. Most impressive was our time in Mongolia.

Living and working in Johannesburg, organizing a music event over there.
