Spontaneous most of the time, "yes!" kinda guy most of the time. Motto in life is to try everything once and decide for myself if I like it or not.

Live and let live... golden rule to live by, treat others how you want to be treated.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Computers, Languages, Origami

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share what it's like to experience real life pirates... and they're nothing like Jack Sparrow. I can also share what it's like to almost be a priest. I can also teach you how to do paper folding (origami).
