About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life fully.

ABOUT ME

Hey. I'd say I'm fun loving, tolerant, spontaneous, in some ways very wise in other ways not that smart.

I study to become a teacher, enjoy traveling, and practise martial arts. I'm also passionate about music, movies, and am slowly getting into some litterature. I can be childish, spiritual, charming, annoying, and I suppose a lot of other things, depending on the situation. :)

I would say I'm very kind and a good person. As you can tell by that I'm not modest either, but honestly pretty much anyone who knows me would say the same.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy relates to the concept of yin and yang, I believe in balance. I want to live a full life of contrasts. I try to stimulate my body and mind.

I value freedom above materialistic possesions.
One can always spend time in the pursuit of more money, but never spend money in the pursuit of having more time on earth.

I try to create memories and live a full life, I try to make the most of my life, as long as it doesn't mean hurting anyone in the proces.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A Brazilian couchsurfer named Zoe recommended that I'd sign up and become a couchsurfer.
What made me get off my ass now a good while later, is that I have a study trip coming up for Istanbul.

However, I think couchsurfing's gonna further enable me to have an adventurous approach to the art of living. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailed with my dad, nearly drowned at sea. Went to India and traveled around Goa for two amazing weeks. Festival experience. Recent backpacking trip through Vietnam, Cambodia, and a bit of Thailand.

Invited my friends on facebook to come up with challenges for me to complete for one straight week, had loads of fun trying, ended up singing (terribly) in public among other things.

Oh it said one? Well, I'm a bit too full of my self and a bad reader i suppose.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach martial arts, I'm a student my self only, but quite experienced and passionate.
I study to become a teacher and am particularly strong in teaching English, but generally find the act of teaching an interesting and involving process.
