About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make the world a little bit better :)

ABOUT ME

I am open, honest and enthusiastic, sometimes even too much :) I love people and like to communicate. For me the life is neverending learning, all people I meet are my schoolmates and my teachers at the same time. Sometimes I meet classmates. When it happens that is the most wonderful feeling in the world.
For me there are no taboo issues, I can discuss everything the other people want. I think that people should share their real thoughts, fears and doubts more than it is common in our society.
During travelling I try to live as a local people do. The best moments I had experienced in Belgium where sometimes I have been recognized as being local :)
I am not very keen to see all "must see" places in one day, love to spend enough time at the places I like. When I am travelling alone most of the time I just walk around and watch people. If there is enough time I also like to visit the museums. There is one thing I never do during travelling: shopping (except in flea markets :))

PHILOSOPHY

For me it is important to follow my inner voice, because in all cases I do not do it the things go wrong ... Therefore I think that there are no accidents, especially there are no accidental meetings. Now I try to let me be guided :)

Interests

Life, politics, economics, environment, travelling, exploring different cultures. My current target for next couple of years is to learn Dutch as good as I can, get to know Belgium (starting with Flanders) and people living there.
By the way, I'm collecting the worldwide stamps.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: François Truffaut, Jos Stelling, Lars von Trier, Pedro Almodovar
Music: Everything that thrills me, from sweet love songs to opera, chillout, new age, classical music, sometimes even metal :) Depends on mood.
Books: Biographies, science fiction, classic novels. Unfortunately currently it is hard to find time to read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's hard to point out the particular things ... Feelings I'm looking for are being united with, being in the right place and time. Sometimes these feelings come from being in nature (sunrises, sunsets, mountains etc.), but in most cases for me from the meeting of significant people. Isn't it amazing to meet a person with whom you can complete each others sentences even before knowing each others name?

Teach, Learn, Share
