I’m exploring the world free spiritedly, moving away from a rather conventional path.

Professionally, I’m in the process of switching from a 9 to 5, low meaning corporate job to running NGOs projects. More details on this side of me:

Music, Movies, and Books

As far as music goes few favorite that come to mind: Coldplay, Kings of Leon, Pink to Five Finger Death Punch and classical music - Sibelius, Bartok, Piazzola.

Movies that I love? Tough question. A rather arbitrary selection:
Akira Kurosawa - Rashomon
Bela Tarr - The Turin horse
Miyazaki - Spirited away
Lars von Trier - Dogville
Wong Kar-wai - In the Mood for Love.

Books that meant a lot to me at some point in time:
Ursula K le Guin - The left hand of darkness
Kafka - Metamorphosis and other stories
Marina Abramovic - Walk through walls
Aldous Huxley - A brave new world
Alan Watts - The wisdom of insecurity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not being afraid to change, sometimes in ways beyond recognition.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be happy to share stories on how I’ve been exploring who I am, on people, experiences, places that have changed me.
And for the really passionate :o), I can spread around knowledge on Project Management, BPM.
