About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Minimal lifestyle

ABOUT ME

I'm a traveler, I've been to 67 cities in 24 countries and according to Travel Brain I occasionally stray off track, I am happy with a roof and running water, I'm immune to thieves and outbargain touts and I flirt with danger. My goal is to work and travel as much as possible through out my life.

The thing I enjoy most about traveling is meeting different people and understanding their culture. If I have an opportunity to meet musicians - it's even better! Whenever possible I try to master playing conga drums and I'm always eager to discover new instruments and different approaches to music.

I enjoy networking and helping my friends connect with each other. One of the things I do for a living is web development and I believe not only in an Open Source Internet, but also in an Open Source World.

I really enjoy flying, but I believe hitchhiking is the best way to travel. Not only it's harder to plan your trip, which makes it all more exciting, you get to experience authentic people that just so happen to stumble upon you.

If possible I will travel on a bike. I'm not one of those ride-around-the-globe bicycle gurus, but if you're planning a weekend on two wheels or a 7-day tour around the island - I'm in!
