Learn as much as possible, never be frustrated

ABOUT ME

I'm a quite-good (not enough though) educated, ethical, independent, and active person with inquisitive mind and passion for exploration natural and cultural environment. I try to experience different shades of reality, confront bookish knowledge with reality and enlarge consciousness and wisdom.

PHILOSOPHY

Principles of the holistic ethics, karuna, minimalism, pragmatism and sustainable life constitute my value system. However, it's not a system sensu stricto.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There's no one (best) amazing thing/phenomena in the world or lifetime.
And i haven't done anything 'amazing'.
Maybe voluntary jobs in Abkhazia and Nepal are worth to mention

Teach, Learn, Share

share: everything I possess
teach: I'm not sure I'm able - 'share' is a better term
learn: most of people can give me something useful and interesting

What I Can Share with Hosts
