About Me

people I'm about to meet
hello
...
* 2024 update.
I am moving to another hosting platform*

As rumor has it, my folk is kind and distances between places are impressive. Now I know how united we can be, how brave and also bitter.

I lived in India and grew fond of early mornings, colors of curry and the taste of bamboo pickles. Learned to hitchhike in Turkey and slept a few nights in a witch's apartment with 6 cats playing around.

I have been participating in volunteering projects and cultural exchanges. I love painiting murals and working with clay.

ABOUT ME

my first CS experience as a guest happened when a Portuguese, a Hungarian and I hit the road in India, Varanasi in 2012.

* Slept across my home-country in villages, campings, explored festivals, hiked. Learned how to be afraid of heights.

Every year I end up working or living with other people and learning from them. It's something magical especially to share vibes, even though not a language.

Things for fun and pleasure.
Like swimming, yes! Or riding a bicycle

postcards, hitchhiking, diaries (I do read a lot about political prisoners, folklor and the way mental illnesses make history of humans)
