About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Hawaii in Jan/Feb!
ABOUT ME
I'm an architect and it's taught me to look at everything around me, space in general. Nature, landscapes, learn from the earth you walk on and that which walks on it.
I dream of becoming a great actor one day and I'm working very hard at following my dreams. I also like to dance.
I love art. Oh and music. Films most of all.
I love traveling and I love experiencing all the world has to offer.
I like having crazy fun but I also love to engage with people on a personal level. It's amazing how many wonderful people there are and how one can feel so inspired by these qualities people hold!
The sound of people's laughter is a melody to my ears and drives me to act the clown in hopes to evoke it, smiles are contagious so why not make the world a happier place.
Grew up all over the place and have a thirst for adventure and knowledge.
PHILOSOPHY
I don't want to waste the opportunity I was given to live, only to spend my life searching for something with regret following my trail because of fear or sense of conventional reality. I want to experience and learn everything the world and life has to offer. I want to meet all sorts of people, learn from and see all different cultures and ways of life including others philosophies and thoughts, love and feel loved - live romantically, build my own world and influence other people for the better as I gain influence from them. I'm very strong minded and compassionate. Everyone has something unique about them and people are pretty damn awesome. I'd love to make a difference in the world (as cliche as that sounds).

Music, Movies, and Books
Love all sorts of movies, music and books.
My favorite movie is "Biutiful" by Alejandro Inarritu. Other films I love are :The Reader, The Curious case of Benjamin Button, 7 Pounds, Secret life of Bees, Donnie Darko, Memoir's of a Geisha, Citizen Kane, Casablanca, All about Eve, Moulin Rouge, Titanic, Avatar, Babel, Shutter Island, Blood Diamond, Cloud Atlas, A single Man etc. - To sum it up, films that move me (coincidentally they tend to be quite depressing films but hey.)
I love r'n'b/hip hop, pop, rock, acid jazz, trance/house/dance/electro, classical, reggae and reggaeton, gospel, etc.
Books: Murakami Haruki is one of my favorites. Dostoevsky, Rumi, Harry Potter series, Larsson's millenium series, Edgar Allan Poe, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Eleanor Roosevelt, Sylvia Platt, Hemingway, James Joyce, Natsume Soseki, Voltaire, Victor Hugo...
Crime novels are a big hobby.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Every place I have been was amazing for me..
Amazing thing I have done? I grew up without losing my inner child, my imagination and creativity, and my naive trait of seeing the good in every person. Seen different parts of the world, amazing people, beautiful cities and natural landscapes, and masterpieces of art.
Teach, Learn, Share
Oh jeeze... One thing I can share are my thoughts and specific outlook on everything. I have a passion and love for ancient history and mysteries. I follow spiritual teachings and dabble in anything that arouses my curiosity, there is so much in the world people do not look for or care to find. What lies beneath the surface is a lot more interesting than what floats on waves of water. What I would like to learn is how other people's thoughts and philosophies compare with my own and what factors influence their thought process. Can teach anything I can do and hopefully inspire or motivate those around me.
I guess i'm pretty good at motivating people ? I like exposing people to passions and things they might have been curious about but never initiated full interest in.
Technicality-wise, I guess I can teach the languages I know as well as design/illustration, accents and acting?
