Me and Development

I see development as a personal growth, something that could raise my awareness towards recycling waste, become a better person for people around me or improve my knowledge of distant cultures. And when I am far ahead with that, I can show somebody else how to grow.

Me and Africa

I even have a folder on my computer named “Egle and Afrika”. It is photos, the ones I took on my first trip to Africa. That was back in 2005, Morocco. I remember very vividly my first emotions after crossing the Gibraltar. Later on, I described the cultural shock I experienced on the other side of the strait to my friend. She was so impressed that she changed her holiday plans and went to see Morocco instead. But she did not get the same feeling as I did. There is something unique to what Africa has given to me.

Me and Journalism

I am a radio maniac. I want to record sound, I want to hear voices, and in my dreams I sometimes edit interviews (maybe too much work, yes yes). I just want everybody to sound.
