Today is a great day to be alive :)

On a mission of exploration, constant growth and learning while sharing as much positivity with others and leaving the world even slightly better than the way I found it

I love to think, write, read and have conservations with people about everything that concerns our existence, life, the world, society as we know it, cultural differences, and always time for having a laugh and a joke

I'm here to meet like-minded people, the ones with a burning fire in their belly, the seekers, the dreamers, the doers, the thinkers, the ones who want to connect to the world and to others in it.

What drives me is direct experience, adventure, novelty, learning, challenge, growth and of course fun!

I'm into anything to do with the following:

TRAVEL ADVENTURE LEARNING GROWTH NEW EXPERIENCES CHALLENGE

OUTDOORS NATURE MOUNTAINS THE SEA EXERCISE MOVING MY BODY

MEDITATION VISUALISATION MINDSET PHILOSOPHY PSYCHOLOGY

CREATING WRITING BOOKS IDEAS DEEP CONVERSATIONS PSYCHEDELICS

BECOMING A BETTER HUMAN HEALTHY LIVING IMPROVEMENT PROGRESS SPIRITUALITY

My last year summed up: Summer in NYC -> Autumn in Vancouver -> Teaching English Beijing, China -> learning meditation in India -> more meditation in Sri Lanka - more teaching in Suzhou, China -> soon to be home

Looking forward to hosting and giving back to this great community now that I'll be home :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
