About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience EVERYTHING.

ABOUT ME

Moody, open-minded, love to travel, get excited about physics (and other somewhat geeky topics) and love talking about various psychological and philosophical themes. Love to go out and dance all night in a club. Will instigate rounds of shots till everyone is under the table. Impulsive but more or less responsible when it comes down to it. I also love trying new things...especially new sports! Surfing and wakeboarding are two sports i recently got into and love. Snowboarding is a fav as well! I also enjoy eastern and western martial arts (karate, fecing, etc).

I am living in South Africa at the moment for work. If you need someone to meet for coffee/wine and good convo in Joburg, let me know! I am always keen to meet new and interesting people with varied viewpoints and a passion for life!

PHILOSOPHY

Life can be good and bad but mostly it depends on the things you choose to focus on. You gotta just roll with it. I do my best tp try to live with as little regret as possible and with infinite hope. I always try to have a good time...but never at the expense of others!
