CURRENT MISSION

Im going to bike across europe...have experiences, meet people, camp, see europe!!! That, and do some writing

ABOUT ME

Hey, im just a multi faceted artist. writer. traveller...try to keep myself humble. Just want to enjoy life and contınue to meet more people who also enjoy life and we can all grow and share (that sounds very newage bookish but i guess i really mean it)

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be honest with myself, to challenge ideas, and to try and see positivity. I think the world has to be interpreted and there is no fixed cold hard reality which we just have to accept. We can make life many different things and its great, fun, creatitve challenge. \also, i believe real change happens in your mind so trying to fulfill yourself with external things is not the answer...better to change your heart/mind inside.

other things:love, reality, chaos, order, perception, metaphor, connection of brain with senses, psychomagic, psychoanalysis, 101 zen fables. The peace pilgrim. nasraddın hodja
