About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Train to be a GP

ABOUT ME

I, like many others plan on conquering the world one day and making peace amongst its many inhabitants. In the meantime i make do with helping people as best i can and THIS seemed like a good way to do it :)
I have many interests but i never seem to stick to one long enough to be good at anything. I do consistently love hiking though!

PHILOSOPHY

be good, be tolerant. Defend what's right.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

love music, everything but techno, house or trance. Generally i stray towards the mellower tracks, jazz, western classical or blues. Classic rock is always good.

I enjoy fiction, mostly classic scifi and fantasy. I will read the occasional autobiography and metaphysical book.
My favorite authors are Mikhael Bulgakov, Tolkien, Dervla Murphy and che Guavara.

I enjoy a lot of movies again mostly fantasy, Japanese fantasy is fascinatingly weird. Hollywood is getting boring.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed up to the base camp of Nanga Parbat, 9th highest mountain in the world.
Participated in No Pants on the Subway 2011 New york!
Met a violin-carrying-junkie-hobo in Gilgit, Pakistan who told me 2011 would be a big year for Pakistan( wasn't though was it?) !
SCUBA in Koh Phangan, Thailand. It was amazing, like being in a different world.
Ate Real Chinese food to my heart's content in George town, Penang.
