About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live on the edge, Laugh, Connect, Fulfill, and repeat

ABOUT ME

A little about me.
In a nutshell, I am an adventurous and laid back Business graduate Currently finishing up a BComm in Acc/Finance. Pretty boring stuff as it sounds, but I make up for it by pursuing exciting activities.
People would describe me as entertaining, laid-back, and engaging. I tend to get along with everyone, unless theres a language barrier (in that case, I have to use my hands more than I need to :P )

PHILOSOPHY

Live more and worry less. The present moment is all there is, and all one has to embrace it. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow has not yet arrived, but the current situation (now), is the best time to accommodate for a meaningful task (aka, living, like tomorrow hasn't come yet)
I live by (and am still in the process of) learning to eliminate judgments in a nutshell. its the one things that fogs our perceptions about the true beauty inside everything and everyone.
Feelings? Embrace the ones around you. None of them stay for long, but you are eternal :)
Thoughts? Let them be. Your mind can't help it. Be here

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have just joined. When I move into my new place after the summer, i plan on having space available for folks to enjoy the Ottawa scene and winter festivals.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i have just recently signed up, but had experienced a couch surfing episode in Frankfurt. I was indirectly introduced to it without the website and was hosted by a wonderful couple, whom i cannot find on the network (their last name was pretty hard to pronounce and remember)

Interests

Biking, rollerblading, jogging, swimming, gym, coffee on the patio with great company. Spontaneously meeting new folks .... Having a down to earth conversation.... Summer time dedicated to the beach and reading...
music (djing and production) and exploring (hiking and camping)
.. Its all great. Nothing though, compares to the fun and excitement of experiencing a new city and its grandeurs.

Music, Movies, and Books

Huge fan of all kinds of movies, that were produced before 2007. What happened to all those great flicks?
Books- Non fiction and historical fiction are amazing summer reads. But every now and then, a theological or mesmerizing philosophical read is always intriguing. I'd say, I read everything, except history, and twilight and harry potter style books (the band wagon effect really pushes me away from most of these books).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Went on a euro trip and experienced insane amounts of culture and overwhelming art
2. Seen some amazing concerts all over the western part of the world (literally) and enjoy every bit of it..
3. Bungee jumping and sky diving (in the same day !!!)
4. Met amazing people that were super hospitable in Germany, and left me with an amazing impression of the German crowd.
5.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a deep passion for electronic music, acoustic, gym, amateur parkor. Willing to go into the details of this misunderstood art form of music.
Fitness , diet and nutrition has become a recent hobby. This also connects inevitably with cooking. I am trying to share and teach my recipe finds on the net and from cultural cooking classes.
Lastly, passions and interests. I am a full believer about learning about others and what makes them....well, them. And vice versa. Life is too short.
Recollecting and reflecting on funny #$%# from the past. We all have ridiculous stories, so let's roll on the floor laughing, and lose ourselves in awe over your experiences.
Meditation, its a beauty, and can lead to an amazing day. Ask me, and maybe we can do a mystical meditation and drink coffee.
