About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy and experience life in all its diversity; to make the world a little bit better place for every living being; to figure out what to do with my life; to ride bikes, travel all around and share ideas with great people

ABOUT ME

Anti-authoritarian, feminist and vegan. Anti-racist, anti-fascist. And generally a friendly person! But strict when it comes to the previous. :)

I am down-to-earth yet spontaneous. I like thoughtful people and enjoy making new friends with people who think alike. I enjoy sharing skills, learning and teaching

PHILOSOPHY

Respect all living, do no harm to others. Fight for the better future. Begin the change from your own life. Bike like there's no tomorrow!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling. Rainy autumn nights and dreamy summer nights. Sunset. Forest after rain. The first snow. Spending good time in good company. Riding a bike at night in the city.

Going around and meeting amazing people, learning from them and sharing ideas.

Teach, Learn, Share

I always like to learn new stuff.

I could teach you

- to fix bicycles (or fix yours in exchange for a couch)
- to make and fix dreadlocks
- to cook awesome vegan food
- how to get along with computers
- nature stuff (eg. collecting wild herbs and using them)
- to dumpster dive
- to Do It Yourself!
- to weld a bike trailer, rack or a tall bike :)
