About Me

In 2018 I travelled around South East Asia and not really used my account since then. Now Im travelling through Central America and decided to log back in :)

Curious of the world and have been working with people in crisis (i.e street children, homeless, migrants) for the last 17 years.
I like to listen. I like provocations (no matter in what way/form) and to provocate. That always gives me "thoughts" or just reason to think more. I like to be inspired by great people I meet in everyday life. From early childhood imagination is one of few things which keeps me breathing.
From time to time I escape with my friends to my small house in the village. From time to time I'm travelling to feel free and to discover what's going on in the world. Almost never I do things that I don't like. I don't understand modern art, yet.

PHILOSOPHY

'sometimes it's better to regret what i did , than regret that i did nothing'

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Can sleeping in so many different places like petrol station, cave or in the old turkish tomb be amazing?
Is looking at the full moon in the olive grove somewhere in Morocco during wild camping amazing?
or maybe just these few times I felt incredibly fortunate because of being in right time in a beautiful place with great people?
