About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Let us be realistic. Demand the impossible!"Ernesto Che Guevara

ABOUT ME

world citizen. I dont believe in boundaries.
Im crazy and colourful, interested in multiple issues and eager to learn from every experience. I call myself a butterfly. I believe that travelling is the best life school and can change us forever. the crazier the experience is, the more it changes us and everything we have been before
my dream is not only exploring other cultures but also making my contribution to those who are abandoned by their destiny and their community and have no possibility to enjoy life and naturally unfold, doesn´t matter in which way. I want to work in international development cooperation later on.

I'm not a typical tourist anymore. but decided to give something back for all the hospitality and warmheartedness I have received in Southeastasia and other corners of the world. as I felt sometimes, what I gave could not even compete closely compared to what I received.
they were the ones who tought me about life, who made me realize its not about "look where I have been!" or "have you been to that party yet?" when it comes to the things that really matter in life, when it the touring around turns to the life changing experience of an adventurer.

As we all know, a minor strike of wings of a butterfly can cause a Tsunami. any kind of help enriches us with love and returns to us in a multiple form.

I believe that we can write history through our love.

PHILOSOPHY

my faith is very important for me
I have so many thoughts and ideas that it would probably take a book to describe my personal philosophy. it gets richer and bigger every day, cause every day, every single interaction and can be a part of a learning process. Every single enounter can be magical and make us realize that we are all human beings, interconnected with each other in a mystical, unexplainable way
