About Me

CURRENT MISSION

No mission.

ABOUT ME

"I am young, am Europeen, federalist,I am an activist, volunteer, am fast am Pretty and POSSIBLY CAN'T BE BEAT!!"

Born Aegeen, raised Canadian, grew up a la Turca, spirited Mediteranean, feel like a Balkan.

I am cheerful as an Aegeen, polite as a Canadian, lazy like a Turk and living like a laid-back Mediteranean.

PHILOSOPHY

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

- Christopher McCandless, Into The Wild

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

European Voluntary Service EVS in 🇫🇷 France. After working as a volunteer for refugees, homeless, alcoholic, handicapped, socially disadvantaged people, my vision of the world changed.
