About Me

Digital nomad, software engineer, globe-trotter

CURRENT MISSION

To live without regret, to love without attatchment, to laugh without restraint

ABOUT ME

Working remotely and traveling. Always on the lookout for cool people and good waves to surf.

PHILOSOPHY

For me, the beauty of life is enough in itself. I try not to create any distance from it by philosophy and speculation about it. I simply try to live my life, directly and immediately, in the hopes that I come out of it a more enriched person. Being alive is so captivating and exciting. No creed, code, or catechism could possibly sum it up.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Since I can remember Ive been afraid of heights. Just climbing a a tree, or standing near the edge of a balcony would frighten me deeply. I decided to go skydiving to explore the root of this fear. Surprisingly, despite the obvious terror, there was a silent sense of peace or serenity in the background. I later read a book that advised reader to ask him/herself when upset, "Can I see the peace in this?"
