About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life.

ABOUT ME

I'm a visual artist, a musician, a photographer and just some guy who likes to travel a lot and meet people from around the world and attend some parties/festivals on the side.

PHILOSOPHY

One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.

One should not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated

Cause and effect

Ask and you shall receive but you really have to work sometimes to get it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2 different women from the same town asked me in a small town in Australia called Warrnambool: "Have we met before?" (Weird thing is that wasn't just a pick up line as they were also very familiar to me but it was my first time coming to that country).

Finding a hidden waterfall and swam in it.

Crossed the border of Georgia and Azerbaijan with a stranger I met on the same day and on a taxi and then from the Azeri border took another taxi but we didn't understand each other, we just showed them the map and it was 12mn, we were driving in darkness. I woke up to the sight of Baku.

Many many more stories. I'll share it next time we meet.
