About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Climates....

ABOUT ME
My path is path of a dreamer, a migrating bird. Through the lightning and thunder storm; through the rain and sun but never in lukewarm shallow waters...

PHILOSOPHY

" Like a baby bird. Like a broom among brooms... in a broom closet. Like a tiny parrot. Like a whistle. Like a little song. A song sung by a forest... within a forest... a thousand years ago"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking on Everest trail for 3 weeks alone in freezing cold winter month, I got lost on approximately 5000 meters altitude at night while looking for a lodge. I had High Altitude sickness, carrying a light backpack, no sleeping bag. I was thinking that was going to be my last hours on earth. It was such a strong feeling, but pleasant at the same time, my life was streaming along in my had, my dreams, my daughter, all the good memories. I could bearly walk because of the sickness. I was feeling high, due to High Altitude sickness, totaly zen It was dark and cold, when I lost hope... I was saved, or I might have missed a beatiful death who knows...

Teach, Learn, Share

I lead a double life: One is life of a thunder bird with insatiable love for exploring, can't stop flying, can't feel alive without spreading my wings over the clouds; And the other: life of a sloth, happy hunging on to a high tree brunch, just doing nothing, and doing everything slowly and calmly far from the madding crowd. Depending on the climate you might encounter one of them. I can share with you crazy travel stories, the slowest way of cooking Mesopotiamian dishes, my self sustained life style, or just silence...
