About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The way to hapiness is... the way,

ABOUT ME

I like to wake up every day full of life and when I go to bed feeling like I didn't waste a single minute.

PHILOSOPHY

The way to happiness is the way itself. Each minute that goes by we ll never get it back. I d like to learn and teach and make a positive impact on the people I meet as I hope they have on me too. "We're too small to know what God wants of us, so thank God for being alive and thank Him even for the pain'' Aristoteles, and ''Between
nothing and pain, humans choose pain'' Soloviof

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

stood in front of the Parthenon in Athens,Greece and closed my eyes and saw Athens in 500 BC. walked from Europe to Asia over a bridge in less than 10 minutes for a cup of tea in Istambul,Turkey n then walked back to Europe.Stood at the highest point of Machu-Pichu,Peru. i walked with an ex girlfriend inside the seawater with our stuff on our head to a deserted totally isolated awesome beach in Cyprus,and we camped there and went to see her in Finland after 23.5 years!
raised 2 small puppies, that still had their eyes closed, till they became full-grown big dogs
