ABOUT ME

"drink the high air. Stroke the stone with your own soft hands. Say goodbay to the West if you own it. And then turn to the East."

PHILOSOPHY

"All thought of something is at the same time self-consciousness [...] At the root of all our experiences and all our reflections, we find [...] a being which immediately recognises itself, [...] and which knows its own existence, not by observation and as a given fact, nor by inference from any idea of itself, but through direct contact with that existence. Self-consciousness is the very being of mind in action."

― Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Phenomenology of Perception

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few years ago I got stuck over an unmarked minefield between Croatia and Bosnia. I waited 5 hours the French bomb disposaleer to save me.

In another trip to Berlin couple of year ago, defending me and my friend from a robbery, 2 "sweet bastards" stubbed me just below the right hand side eye.

Honestly... traveling for mr often means be in the wrong place at the most wrong time!
