Not Separate @ Warsaw, Poland, June 2, 2025

Not Separate I first met “C” at a hostel in Moldova some six years ago. I don’t remember how well our initial “small talks” went, but the two of us hung out several times, and I ended up building a sense of brotherhood with him (I’m not sure about his account, though). Not only did we recognize common thoughts and feelings regarding long-term traveling, we also shared some insignificant fun coincidences: man-bun hairstyle, the same age and height, and each having one more brother. Although we...

Amateur is the goal

The most influential dance teacher of mine was a martial arts practitioner before he became a dancer. When I asked about the difference between the two different phases of his life, he told me that there was fundamentally no difference, indicating that he viewed either form as a tool to shape the life he wanted. That is, a life supported by a lifelong craft where there is no final destination. At least this was my understanding of what he said then. Over two decades of dancing...

Listening to myself through Ekaterina – some questions about my travels, Moscow, Russia, October 2019

What I think about when I leave Paraguay @ Salto del Monda-y, Paraguay, June 2, 2018

What I think about when I leave Paraguay In June this year, a day before leaving Paraguay, I took the time to reflect on my time in the country. About a decade ago, I had lived in Paraguay for around 2 years. In this video, I talked about the joy of re-discovery, the peacefulness of the people, and the reminder of the stories I had missed in my travels. @ Salto del Monda-y, Paraguay, June 2, 2018

Listening to myself- Revisiting an initial question, Lima, Peru, April 18, 2018

As much as I see interesting things out there on a daily basis, I try to maintain a dialogue with myself. That is because, although I put “listening to the world” as the title, I believe this whole experience will eventually come down to “listening to myself and understand myself better”. This one was shot more than a month ago in Lima, Peru. Although the primary audience is the future me and my future offspring, you can watch it too 🙂 Structure: 1.Some stats and updates...
