ABOUT ME

-----

I adore deep and witty conversations, meeting new people and learning new things.

PHILOSOPHY

"I can resist anything except temptation"
"Never do today what can be done tomorrow"
- Oscar Wilde

and when I get into trouble ...

I tell myself "Never do tomorrow what can be done today".

Curiosity killed the cat but not the human. i'm still alive so i take it as a good trait to have.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in the mountains
Meeting friends / people i connected with again. it's one of the most heartwarming feelings =)
Disconnecting and living without wifi in the nature
Listening and having good and meaningful conversations
-
Walked with lions
Chased by cops (more than 5 miles)
Chased by dogs twice in Taiwan on 2 different trips (i still love all of them)
Accidentally ate Spider web (this isn't exactly amazing)
Sand boarding in the Namib desert
Rode through the highest motorable pass in the world twice
Slept on the roof to catch the meteor showers
Seeing the milky way over and over again
Did a high altitude trek in Bolivia where I had food poisoning and mild altitude sickness. I don't know how I survived that
Cycling down the death road in Bolivia
Hitchhiking
The Huayhuash trek in Peru (nearly died at 5300m)
Skydiving in Queenstown from 12,000ft. Freefall at 200km/hr was the BEST. FEELING. EVER!
