"Hello Im Ivan: vagabond, mystic in training, blogger, teacher, student of life. Welcome to my little home on the net, where I hope to share ideas and insights to help you lead a deeply fulfilling life."

My site focuses on the two aspects of freedom:
1. Freedom "from": This is physical freedom, making a living doing something you love.
2. Freedom "for": This is psychological freedom, having a meditative mind, living in the moment through restful awareness.

I write about my experiences in: self development, traveling, living abroad, meditation, entrepreneurship, how to live simply and awesomely.
