Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Europe! I've done a little traveling around SE Asia and now Europe is where I'm going. I have always dreamed of going to Europe and now I am. I'm starting in Hungary for a family reunion. After that I'm going where ever my feet and the road decide.
ABOUT ME
I'm something of an odd ball (not a great way to start I know) but seeing how this planet is at a shortage of normalcy that doesn't paint much of a picture. I'm punctual when I need to be, but I like to joke more often then not. I'm relativity tall, a fact that first time acquaintances along with old friend never seem to get tired or reminding me of. However if you look past my vertical giftedness you'll find that I'm a friendly guy who is easy going and more then happy to try something new. My flaws include being overly charming, slightly egotistical and not being that great at spelling out his flaws.
PHILOSOPHY
Well this is just going to give me room to ramble but I'll try to keep it as readable as possible. I've aged beyond my years being exposed to different cultures from an early age has really shaped me. I'm quite spiritual, I'm yet to commit to a religious belief. Seeing that bit of world has made me come to terms with realty or what people can do to it. Because we all share this existence there is a fine balance between sense what we believe and what reality is based upon what others believe. So in order to navigate through a life that is subjected to so many p perceptions, I believe as long as you maintain a healthy sense of self with compassion towards others that is what I found to be the best way to live. That, and being willing to forgive yourself for your mistakes because the moment your past becomes a burden the future will just one day haunt you all the same.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Ridden an elephant, crawled through a jungle in order to escape a mafia's raiding of a village, eaten what looked like jellyfish but was cows stomach (I think), been to Shambalah, skinny dipped in the ocean surrounded by phosphorescent algae, ran from the cops wearing leopard print lingerie, fit 7 people into a tuk tuk, walked across Montreal on a November night wearing nothing but a morph suit.
Teach, Learn, Share
What I can teach:
Archery, by recurve bow though I haven't used a compound. A little of poi, that is the fire dancing with the balls on the chains, I'm yet to light mine aflame though. The manliest instrument of all: the flute (not innuendo I swear). And I'm more than willing to learn whatever philosophical teachings you may have, and I'm more that willing to share whatever ones I may have accumulated through life.
