The world is full of stories.

As a journalist, I have the privilege to uncover different complexities of daily life. Narratives which shape the society, circumstances that become events, human tales of courage, pain, and hope.

 

Sometimes I get an opportunity to look into the greatest minds, even more often a chance to feel with the boldest of hearts. Complex nature of our world provides me with an endless stream of inspiration and desire to catch a glimpse of many realities living on the same planet.

Stories are the anchor that gets me through a confusion of many opposing perspectives, forces and intentions. By sharing them with you, dear reader, I hope we manage to collectively shed some light on the darkest spots of ignorance and indifference.

I hope you enjoy reading as much as I did writing!
