About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find out what I will do for work in this world. My current pilot project is to be an experience designer and imagineer.

ABOUT ME

Humble, Creative, Helpful. I can be trusted and when I borrow things they are always returned in same or better condition.
When things are broken I have this urge to fix them to make it better even if they are not mine.

PHILOSOPHY

Be water, shapeless formless. Taking the shape of any container, yet keeping its spirit and character.
Commit and then let go.
Less is more.

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently reading Make Space, Daily Rituals and How to take winning photos.

Music wise I like all song and albums that are good, I mean there is gems in almost every genre. And it also depends on why the music is playing; To help me focus, to dance, to relax, to lighten up the mood, to feel sad, to sing along etc.

My taste in movies are pretty mainstream in the sense that I usually enjoy all the high-scoring feature films on IMDB. 8.0 and above, and I probably like it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got my iPhone & Longboard stolen in Barcelona. Using find my iPhone I managed we tracked the phone. When we saw the blue dot stop on the map me and 4 friends went there and this scary looking gang where there. Turned out to be 2 under cover police officers having captured the thief and I got my phone back. I also printed out flyers with the picture of my stolen longboard and spread it through every skate shop in town.

Eventually the police officer called me and told me he had my skateboard. The guy who sold me the longboard in the shop saw it on the street being used by a group of teenagers and called the police who retrieved it.

- Bathing naked in the Japanese Onsen
- Taken a cooking class in Japan

- Learned to drive a 350cc motorbike in India

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn more about focus, and possibilities that is often overlooked. I want to learn about new ways to do things.
