CURRENT MISSION

dreaming, provoking, knowing, pioneering, growing, flaneuring and being surprised

ABOUT ME

I enjoy talking and debating, provoking and difference. Always on the look-out for knowledge, new perspectives and meaning. Very fond of discovering, open-minded, tolerant and a bit lazy. In love with hiking, hills and mountains and authentic experiences, be it in the urban forest or the timeless rural outdoors. A tad introvert, sometimes nostalgic for a civilization and time bygone or neverbeen. And evermore curious, keen to experiment and play, intriguing and surprising.
I am involved in various political, cultural and educational, as well as NGO projects.

PHILOSOPHY

«We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time» (T.S. Eliot)
Philosophy aside, my worldview is progressive and constantly critically evolving, a melange of socialism, deep ecologism, tiermondism, anarcho-socialism, comunitarism and post-scarcity heterodoxy.
As for religion, in the face of current organised faith I find myself sometimes spiritually ignostic yet I am raised in and partially observant of the geek-orthodox pravoslavnic traditions, beliefs and social customs

Teach, Learn, Share

Very good listener and sometimes, when my interest is peaked, a remarkable coach. I can also share professional knowledge in the fields of political science, sociology,anthropology, critical thinking and strategic planning. Besides, most people tell me I know a bit too much of everything, yet all I can say for sure is that the more one learns, the wider the realm of things he knows are not yet known gets.
