About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I would love to change this fucked up world!

ABOUT ME

I am currently devoted to my newly-found love to Latin America. My affection is accompanied with exploration of topics such as: human rights, alter-globalization, anticapitalism etc. In general I am on the way of my overall mission to change this fucked up world or at least to break my head trying to. In the previous series of this quest I used to be a photographer, journalist, tour guide, traveler and many, many other things. I travel mainly by hitchhiking and I heartily advocate it as an amazing opportunity to meet and talk to people while exploring their country from a prospective much different to the one an ordinary tourist has. I am trying to practice what I preach and that inevitably turned me into a convinced vegetarian. I am also trying to find a way to avoid money and consumption of unnecessary things in my life and that led me to rewarding experiences.

While being on the road I really love the feeling that I am going somewhere and there is a path behind and in front of me and I it really doesn't matter where it is gonna take me...

PHILOSOPHY

Borders? I have never seen one. But I have heard they exist in the minds of some people...

Thor Heyedrahl

"Not Hakuna matata or Carpe diem. Of course enjoy your life fully, but in this world we are not alone, we are not individual people, we construct a society. Every little grain of sand that we put in, makes a difference. Personal philosophy? Maybe as Bob Marley sang: Emancipate your minds from mental slavery."
- a wise friend
