ABOUT ME

The main reason for me to travel is to know - how people live, in what natural, social, mental and religious environment they live.
The other side of me is passion for agriculture and life on the land. It's something opposite to long travelings.

Interests

Very various! Becouse of this I'm traveling kind of person..
But now the countryside lifestyle and sustainable agreeculture is the most interesting for me.
My other passion is music. The very various folk music. I play melodica. So busking and participating in different agricultural projects are my main way to travel.
