CURRENT MISSION

Getting A LOT of shit done.

ABOUT ME

Well... I enjoy stepping out of my comfort zone and seem to adapt easily when I do. I like thinking that I'm truly a nice guy, but we all have monsters sleeping in our bellies.

PHILOSOPHY

Expectations are somewhat selfish predispositions that provoke pressure and discard the natural tendency to do things for pleasure.

Interests

Love to travel(obviously), being out-doors, learning new languages, reading, art, dancing, card games, board games, drinking games, -cough- games -cough-, good cinema, good music, butchering great music with my appallingly unmelodious voice... and too many other things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know. I survived cancer, maybe that...?

Teach, Learn, Share

I've recently become a pesceterian and would like to become vegan at least on the day to day, so if you could introduce me to some vegan dishes that would be great.

I can teach/tutor Spanish and English, as well as basic Portuguese, French and Mandarin Chinese.
