CURRENT MISSION

I've finished exploring my country, time to go out and explore the world.

ABOUT ME

https://www.facebook.com/bengs

I love having conversations about a wide range of topics on books, movies, life and human existence, science, environmental issues, etc.
I am an educator, I love teaching; I myself have never stopped learning after finishing university, and try to do a new field of study every year or two. Right now I'm currently focused on learning Spanish and German to at least B2 level.
I love the outdoors, hiking and camping are two of my favorite pastimes, as well as extreme sports such as parasailing and skydiving. I also must try any new food I lay my eyes on, there's really nothing I won't eat.

PHILOSOPHY

I live life and I enjoy it. I don't let anything get me down. I take great pride in my job, and as such it does not feel like work to me. I love my friends and family, they support me in everything I do, and I do the same for them.
Pay it forward.
I follow the religion of humanism.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can cook almost all of Trinidad and Tobago's indigenous food, which is a fusion of Indian/African/Caribbean foods. When I'm surfing, I always bring a few ingredients from home to "make a cook" for my hosts.
