About Me
ABOUT ME
Philosophically inclined and prone to relaxing. Likes snorkeling. Wants to learn about boats.
I had 2 years of University in fine Arts and specialized in sculpture, but have a minor but real spinal injury so i decided to travel right now instead of breaking for arts.
Hobbies : Playing in the Ocean, Food, Indonesian Language, Relaxing, Culture and Creative Projects .
I have had experiences in travel that have ranged from amazing as heaven to some strange science fiction horror bordering on war and terror zones, our paradises on Earth are surrounded by reality sometimes I rather wish I never saw, but life is real.
I like strange and unique humor and cultural aspects, find the uniqueness of Southeastern Asian and Indonesian cultural belief references fascinating, and have experienced things very few can believe or comprehend. If you are like this I am easy to talk to about this stuff.
i do some energy and body work, love to cook, enjoy intellectual conversations and going for walks. beach-combing and snorkeling are a favorite if we are in the right place. i don't have an extra bed, but if you don't mind to sleep on the floor, its ok!
I do not allow for drunkenness around my home or self, but a drink or 2 is ok, so long as you are still intelligent and fun!
Smoking is allowed, but please not indoors or near windows... I smoke.
I have been single for over 4 years, and take relationships and such very seriously. not the type at all to play with ones heart and soul unless asked to do so by the person for purpose of kindness and healing.
Honesty is a must, and if you can't be honest, don't speak!
Respect of all things and courtesy is a high priority for me, through sickness or health as I care and also require that others who are around care and respect.
Respect of peoples privacy and rights to their cultural and spiritual beliefs is a huge thing on my list of what i feel our world is lacking, mostly due to experiences I have had.
My most sincere interests are in food, nature, culture, art, fashion, photography, nature documentaries, books with good info and lots of photos, do it your self stuff to be done with teams, caring for the innocent and kind, sharing if i can, feeling the wind and sun and stars...
and you...
Hahahah...
