CURRENT MISSION

Catching the moment and enjoying the wisdom of life!! "I have not told the half of what I saw", Marco Polo

ABOUT ME

I'm an open-minded person, quite concerned with foreign cultures and with a ruling passion for foreign languages and literatures (especially Slavic ones!. I'm a teacher but I'm making my way into the Academic carrier to become a professor. I love writing and sometimes practising sports (but I don't like them very much, honestly!!!). Addicted to travelling, I literally love meeting people from all over the world and share experiences and opinions.
I'm not married...despite the fact I love children!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Liberal and independent, general relativism and concern for everyday life.

you can only help him find it within himself",
Galileo Galilei

"Duszę się miewa.
Nikt nie ma jej bez przerwy i na zawsze.

Dzień za dniem, rok za rokiem
może bez niej minąć."

"Език свещен на моите деди
език на мъки, стонове вековни,
език на тая, дето ни роди
за радост не - за ядове отровни."

"Řeknu-li Praha, běda mi,
hned vaše oči zazáří mně;
jako bych shodil z ramen břímě
vždy pod těmito střechami"
