About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Preparing for staying in Kosovo and learning its language

ABOUT ME

I am a person who enjoys living in a different place. 'Moving' is one thing and 'seeing what's happening there' is another.
More of an idealist than a realist.

Pursuing anthropology through my whole life with the hope of the world free from any sort of discrimination against the nationality, religion, education, sexual orientation, gender, age, or etc. Someone's freedom not to be discriminated and insulted precedes other's freedom to discriminate and insult. The discipline works very well for justifying traveling :)

I don't eat red meat and poultry.

I have never had a TV though. It's just not my thing.

PHILOSOPHY

Be humble.

Love All kind of music. Rock, Trip Hop, Jazz and Blues, Reggae, Hip Hop and Rap, House, and traditional music(especially Balkan music)

Books I enjoy reading are rather academic except guidebooks for traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling for a year in Asia, the Middle East and Europe
Student life in Uppsala, Sweden, Absolut like the vodka!
Naked night at an isolated part of the Great Wall.
Almost frozen toes and northern light.
Panini de Milza at Sicily.
5am in Daklha, Western Sahara.
Awesome new year's day at Berlin with friends.

The moment I learned how to ride a bicycle.
