I identify as an AMBIVERT, a delightful mix of social zest and cherished solitude.

My online escapades with those whimsical personality tests undeniably affirm this intriguing duality ⏳

In the spectrum of Insights Color Profiles, I radiate Sunshine Yellow, a testament to my sunny disposition 🌞🌼🔆🏵.
In a professional/work setting, I am very Blue 📘 and Red📌

Most of my friends reckon my 'ambivertness' leans 80% toward extroversion, with a cheeky 20% nod to introversion. But the pandemic and lockdown rocked the scale, and I think I am at 60-40 in favor of Team Introvert. ⚖️

However, still, it's akin to a pendulum's rhythmic dance 🕰️

On some days, I seek the solace of solitude, my precious 'me time' 🚶‍♂️. I wander malls, roam parks, engage in solitary workouts, and savor meals alone. Strangely, I've never dared to watch a movie solo in the cinema, a curious quirk. I consider these moments my personal:

♻️ Recovery phase,
🔋 Recharge mode, and
🍃 Sanctuary for reflection and introspection

Conversely, I thrive on the vivacious company of family, friends, colleagues, and even strangers - anyone with a zest for life! That's why couchsurfing tickles my fancy; it promises new friendships with every adventure 👫👬👭. People from diverse walks of life, each with their unique stories, backgrounds, and personalities, united by a shared passion for travel, learning, food, and fun!

A dear friend once dubbed me 'jovial' ☺️. I'm the perpetual smiler, the fun-loving, happy-go-lucky lad 👦. I'm always game for a good chill session. What's your poison?

📺 Netflix marathon? I adore futuristic, action-packed, crime, mystery, and comedy shows. Suits, La Casa De Papel, HTGAWM, Designated Survivor, Modern Family, Lost in Space, and Altered Carbon are my kind of flicks. And my all-time favorite movie? Inception.

☕ A quiet cafe for coffee? Black is my brew, but I'm not one to say no to a cold brew.

💆‍♂️ A massage? Any will do, but foot massages hold a special place in my heart.

📚 A good book? While I'm not a voracious reader, I give it my best shot. I like management and leadership books, as well as fiction.

💬 Or a hearty chat? Let's delve into anything and everything!

But, I'm also game for a night out / Dinner 🍢🍣🍤 + drinks 🥂, embracing spontaneity 🍾. I've partied until sunrise ⛅ (more times than I can count), embarked on epic road trips 🚙 (beaches, anyone?), tackled daring adventures like cliff jumping 🌊, relished in beach escapades ⛱, and reveled in swimming 🏊‍♂️ and working out 🏋️‍♂️. I'm all about staying active; you can find me on the Ultimate Frisbee field every Thursday night 🤸‍♂️. Badminton 🏸, tennis 🎾, hiking 🏞, and sparring with my coach 🥊 are also on my eclectic list of pursuits.

This glimpse into my world should give you a taste of who I am. There's more to discover when we meet! And fear not, I've sprinkled emojis throughout to keep things lively 😎. Get to know both sides of me, and don't be shy to say 'heyyyy' 😁
