About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Forget the risk, take the fall - if it's what you want it's worth it all !

ABOUT ME

I have always placed fun, happiness and long term fulfillment over instant gratification and shortterm profit - and that has always ended up being very profitable.

PHILOSOPHY

In this world, I see people working more than they really should, to earn more money than they really need, to buy things they don't really want, to impress people they don't really like...
I am deeply convinced that only the ugly truth (whatever it may be) can make us happy and our lives worthwile!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I already live together with 2 friends of mine - there's always room for one more person !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

http://traveltip.org/visited.php?up4good

Now that I have some experience in the CS project I gotta say its been nothing short of out-fucking-standing!!

Interests

Generally everything that broadens my horizon in some kind of way or pushes me beyond certain mental limits!
Specifically i would name foreign languages,traveling, human psychology, basketball and all kinds of sports, reading, good music and tasty exotic food...and meeting friends which goes without saying.

Music, Movies, and Books

I devour a lot of books, blogs etc. but one guy i would recommend above everyone else is Eckhardt Tolle! His stuff should be taught in school in place of the BS that kids usually get to read...
Matrix is a great movie too - very close to our everyday reality!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am not going to show off here, hate bragging anyway...
just two things - swimming across lake MacKenzie and watching ferocious lightnings hit the Petronas towers in Kuala Lumpur (seriously,google both !!!)

Teach, Learn, Share

Feel the fear - and do it anyway!

One thing I realized on my travels is that we are all permanently being held back from doing things we actually want to and should do by fear. But magic only happens outside of the comfort zone...
