ABOUT ME

I've been traveling around Spain for the past 1+ month. I completed 800+km hike. It was an amazing and enriching experience.

I love traveling, sports, art and FOOD.

On traveling: I think couchsurfing is a great idea as it offers a platform for people from different parts of the world to connect. It'll be a great experience to meet people from all over the world and I'm looking forward to meeting people from different countries!

On sports: I've been practicing muaythai for a couple of years and still counting on. Other sports I enjoy include running, water sports (although i'm not a good swimmer). See more below on "Interest" section.

On arts: My fav artists - Frida Kahlo & Nan Goldin.

In addition, I would say that I'm quite a health buff. I'm a muaythai (aka thai boxing) enthusiast. I've been practicing it for a couple of years and still counting on. To me, muay thai is a sports that trains one's discipline and teaches one to to be humble. I've met a lot of amazing people and forged meaningful friendships throughout my muaythai learning journey. I think it is really interesting yet contradicting how an individualistic sports like muaythai bonds people together.

PHILOSOPHY

"Perhaps to some extent life is like a UN statement. We define ourselves with statements but with a long list of clauses attached, aimed to please the different people/aspects in our lives and at some point feel satisfied that we have come out with something. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just pleases plenty people."
Nurulhuda Izyan (by a very good friend of mine)

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.”
Christopher McCandless

"They tell you that failure is not an option. That is ridiculous. Failure is always an option. Failure is the most readily available option at all times, but it's a choice. You can choose to fail or you can choose to succeed."
Chael Sonnen, MMA fighter

“If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.”
Charles Bukowski

"You die a few times before you really live."
Charles Bukowski

"“If things are so bad, why don’t you just kill yourself?” The answer is that life is really, really good. I am a complex enough being that I can hold in my heart the understanding that we are really, really fucked, and at the same time that life is really, really good. I am full of rage, sorrow, joy, love, hate, despair, happiness, satisfaction, dissatisfaction, and a thousand other feelings. We are really fucked. Life is still really good."
Derrick Jensen

"Globalisation has influenced women around the world and for me it’s sad, because they all started to look the same… I like people who are a bit crazy, who dare to provoke and surprise."
Ulyana Sergeenko

“I keep waiting to meet a man who has more balls than I do." Salma Hayek said.

Intereses

I love sports, food and psychology (obviously).

Sports: Muay Thai, Running, Boxing, MMA, Wrestling, Brazilian Ju-Jitsu, Hiking, Bouldering. I would like to try out other sports like scuba diving, dirt-biking, skiing, windsurfing, skydiving. Quite an adrenaline junkie as you can see! ;)

Food: All sorts of food as long as it is tasty. I've tried food like pig's intestine, chicken's liver, fried maggots. (Not kidding you at all!). Besides than eating, I enjoy baking too. I started baking about 1 year ago and I'm still learning. I can teach you how to make a cake in just 2 minutes! ;)

Algo increíble que he hecho

(1) Spain-Camino de Santiago - I did a month long walk of 800+ km throughout Northern Spain. The friends I made, and the experience I got from this was absolutely amazing.

(2) Backpacking in Vietnam for almost a month when I turned 19. I would say that was one of the best decisions of my life.

(3) Living in Thailand (Phuket) for a month for Muay Thai training. Experiencing the Thai life. I met a lot of people from different parts of the world. It really broadened my perspective and I would say it is one of the best times of my life.
