ABOUT ME

well... I was born in Bulgaria, I've lived in Basque country, Occitània and Mexico. Now I came back to Catalunya but I have no idea where I'll be even for the near future.
I used to go to rock shows (specially American bands) all over Europe but the last few years I have no much time to do it;
from 2007 to 2011 I crossed Europe by land several times, sometimes hitchhiking, sometimes by bus; now I try to travel only outside Europe;
I don't know for how long I will be in Catalunya, maybe next year I will go back to Mexico, who knows.

PHILOSOPHY

We know more about war
than we do about peace,
more about killing
than we know about living
