ABOUT ME

"One, No one and One Hundred Thousand."

For recent years, my life has been all about traveling, learning and sharing. I earn money by traveling and spend most of it on traveling, too. At the same time I try to be a full time grad student (anthropology of religion) and a full time hedonistic idler. I'm systematic, thorough and culture-oriented when traveling for work; adventurous, spontaneous, easy going and laid back when traveling for fun. Open-minded, open-hearted and eager to learn, participate, help and laugh at any time. I never go to any place without deep interest in local culture and traditions. I'm looking for new knowledge, excitement and inspiration and so far I have always found it. I hope that no place will ever be the way I have expected it to be ;)

Interests

Participant observation, changing places, lifelong learning. Depths and heights, crossing the borders, new horizons. Laughter and all those moments of pure happiness. Theoretical discussions, formal logic, deconstruction. Critical junctures ;) Deep human relationships. Mind games. Meditation, culinary and tea culture, nature. Street side anthropology and people watching. Architecture, design, literature, theater, music, cinema. Religions, folklore, story telling. Pop culture and urban environments. Beauty in its various forms.
