CURRENT MISSION

To learn about and enjoy the lives we lead.

PHILOSOPHY

I aim to understand the world as well as I can, to learn and see as much as I can. I try to enjoy myself in whatever I do, and I mostly succeed at that. I hope to have a positive impact on the lives of others, though I certainly could do better.

Interests

Learning new things, seeing new places, trying new food and drinks, reading, listening to music, playing guitar, watching sports and movies, challenging myself to be a better person.
