About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Settling in Toulouse, whith free time to imply in associative life.

ABOUT ME

I've lived a bit abroad (US, Portugal, Belgium) in backgrounds quite multicultural, that brought me to learn few languages (english, italian, spanish, serbo-croate, portuguese, sign language, german).
My biggest trip was a 6 months trip in 2003 with a world tour ticket.
I've lived as well for years roommating in Toulouse, mainly with foreigners (serbian, Irish, Argentinian, German, Italian) for.... travelling at home!! :)

PHILOSOPHY

A Precious Human Life:
Every day, think as you wake up:

"Today I am fortunate to have woken up.
I am alive, I have a precious human life.
I am not going to waste it.

I am going to use
all my energies to develop myself,
to expand my heart out to others,
to achieve enlightenment for
the benefit of all beings.

I am going to have
kind thoughts towards others.
I am not going to get angry,
or think badly about others.

I am going to benefit others
as much as I can."

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
