About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to baldly discover new worlds, seek out new civilizations...

ABOUT ME

Hi folks!
making my first steps here. currently planning to tour north-western europe by bicycle.. but discovering the exciting couch-surfing options, and having heard from a good friend how succesfull it was for him - i just can't wait to begin.

PHILOSOPHY

always have doubt and never have blind faith. nothing is more holy than human lives. you get what you give; judge others as you want to be judged yourself - Karma is everywhere. we live only once - so for our own sake - we must try and fill our lives and the life around us - with love wisdom and passion.

Music, Movies, and Books

stanley kubrick, alfred hitchcock, quentin tarantino, but also woody allen.. almost no "no-no's" - i love sci-fi, fantasy, personal drama and foreign cinema, psychological thrillers and more. i love rock music, elaborate pop music, loud or quiet - as long as i can sing it and believe it.

have been reading less in the past few years but when a good book falls in my hands, i won't leave it too soon...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

broadcasting radio news to hundreds of thousands of people. thrills me every time as if it was the first time.

Teach, Learn, Share

i come from a very political place - but I never try to voice my opinions in a dominant way . yet, i think i have a different take on things so i like to explain myself and the points of view from where i come from, to anyone that wishes to know more. i adore history and speaking about history and its reflections on our everyday lives. as a journalist - i've seen and experienced many things from a unique point of view.

Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Jordan, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States
