ABOUT ME

I'm an artist and a Phd student in literature. I can tell you all about it if you're interested. Traveling is something I enjoy and part of it has to do with people I meet along the way. I also tend to move around quite often because life's too short to be stuck in one place. I travel to Europe quite often( every summer and sometimes winter since I've been 18) because of the nature of what I do, however I tend to not do single day visits to cities since it isn't in line with the way I think about life. I like to meet people from different places and having engaging conversations that don't end up with propagating even more stereotypes and misunderstandings.

PHILOSOPHY

Marx, Hegel, Arendt anything but Deleuze. Jk. Not really.

"Life is short, be kind to others"
