Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To more fully and deeply interact with life, world, others, and myself.
ABOUT ME
I'm interested in meaning of the world and of other individuals. I consider myself a good listener and, depending on the subject and individual's degree of fire behind such, really enjoy immersing myself into what the speaker is communicating. Even though talking seems secondary than listening for me, I do enjoy sharing easy-going, fun, spontaneous, interested conversations and actions. I enjoy adventures and sharing adventures with other people of like mind. I'm interested in writing and more recently I have started to more seriously exploring my own writing process.
PHILOSOPHY
Be true to oneself and have fun while doing so.

Movies: Fight Club, There will be blood, Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, No country for old men, Star Wars, sci-fi stuff, Dark knight, Spirited away, whatever engages me...
Music: Battles, Radiohead, Tool, Edward Sharpe and the magnetic zero's, 60/70s stuff, jazz, estradasphere, fusion stuff, blue grass, classical, whatever catches my ear...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Going to India was pretty amazing as were the other travels that I have participated in and in general I find life to be pretty amazing.
And most recent: Burning Man. One of the most amazing events that I have ever attended. So full of self-expression, creativity, community, and awesome vibes. There is, ofcourse, another side to that coin but it is most full of all that stuff and more!
Teach, Learn, Share
I've learnt types of healing modalities such as massage, cranial sacral therapy, homeopathy, and myofascial release. Although I'm not currently practicing because I'll be travelling in soon and am interested in writing. I can make an alright Pavlova, if anybody wants to try an Australian desert.
