About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Self-development

ABOUT ME

I prefer to believe that I'm a fairy ;)... joking... i believe that am a creative person, interested in a lot of things, but first of all LIFE as an unpredictable combination of everything you can and can't imagine. It's all about sharing, learning and experience.
I love travelling, i love the process of having new experinces, whatever they are and whichever way they come, i'm open, easygoing, friendly, and sensitive, i love to listen and i have a pack of crazy stories to share too.
I trust this reality and it takes care about me. My travels most of all are like a chess game with the reality. Most of times a dont have any particular plan, coz plans never work. So i just float around, trying to accept everything what comes. U make a step and then u wait for the step from the reality - like a reply. I should say it is a very interesting and captivating game, probably the best one u can have here ;)

PHILOSOPHY

I'm pretty sure, that people we meet are given to us to learn smth. People are not friends, people are not enemies, people are teachers. Only through people we can understand this world not to get stuck to our subjectivism. Travelling and meeting people countribute to being broad-minded, understanding, tolerant, wise and relaxed.
I live my life to understand myself and i try to do my best not to make any harm to any living creature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living 2 weeks in a mountain village in the Himalayas. Crazy plastic scooter 500 km trip in the mountains. Also buying a car on the road while hitchiking from Estonia. Hunting for a proper bamboo with a chief of a indigenous tribe village in Malaysia... Teaching Russian in China. And many other stories... Sometimes it seems i dont have enough place in my head for all crazy things. Once i'll write a book.
