CURRENT MISSION

To travel as much as possible before picking academic education back up

ABOUT ME

I find it hard to describe yourself, no matter who you are you are going to have antagonists, however I’d like to consider myself intelligent, open-minded, considerate, empathetic, shies away from conflicts unless it’s absolutely necessary… I’ve gone through my whole life feeling like I don’t belong… I’m always in-between something and at times it frustrates me but I appreciate that these are the experiences that have given me much of my positive character and moral fiber.

PHILOSOPHY

20 years old and encountered too many older people with regrets… “regret” being the most futile emotion a person can posses, as if there is one thing in life that can’t be changed its what has already happened and/or already been done… These older people are mainly settled down with their conformist lifestyles and nuclear families, working hard within a system that some think they changed to work in their favor… but in fact ended up the system changing them to work in the favor of the system. My father, also a wise but primitive man, way too comfy in his world like a proud fish in an aquarium, swears to living an unconventional and independent lifestyle (a hard balance in life) but he’s really just another lost one inside the system of the even more modernized consumer age… and the mainstream options too (Alcohol, Tobacco and Gambling) No, I figure now is my chance to be liberated and not be satisfied with life in a box (which is whatever our everyday environment provides us with) encountering this site, I recognize its exactly what this world needs, access to the deepest and most direct experiences of how people are living all over the world. This is going to teach us more than staying in a hotel for two weeks, bathing by the pool, then comes a 5pm stroll to the nearest bar, get pissed and only just make it to your hotel room conscious… Different people want different things out of their travels/holidays and come to think of it, the distinction between a tourist and a traveler is quite board… And I never want to feel like a tourist.

I will have to settle down and conform someday… but what’s the rush? There is always more to see … no matter what you’ve seen…

“In Rome, do as the Romans do” a good classic motto to apply to your traveling mind-sets.

Music, Movies, and Books

currently reading 'The Tao of Pooh'

I listen to everything but recently I've been zoning out to Jazz, indie Hip-Hop, indie Rock, Soul, Blues and seeing as many shows/ live bands as possible ...

Shawshank Redemption, Dead Man Walking, Crash, lilya forever are the few mentions out of limitless great heavy impact films... Drama film stimulates me, as I'm someone who could even enjoy a moving performance in an overall unmoving film.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd say I've had an eventful and interesting life so far ... I'll come back to this section to pin point.
