About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn how to scuba dive and swim with sharks or whales. The rest of my life just doesn't matter. Oh, except for teaching, which is my current job, how I travel, and what I wish to do for the rest of my life!

ABOUT ME

Books, music, good conversations and life theories are my thing...

PHILOSOPHY

I think life is about creating your own answers out of what life shows you. I think we all have missions, and more that one, so we can build our own idea of what it is that we are supposed to do along the way. I personally create life theories all the time, basing myself in music, classic video games (life for me is like Tetris, for example) o random signals I see everywhere...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done pendulum jumping, and I also jumped off a 5 meter high cliff to water (that's the first thing that came to mind...)

Now, discovering teaching as the biggest source of happiness I have at the age of 22 is far more amazing to me... plus, living in Turkey for 9 months while teaching and having the best time of my life, well, that was a bliss...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help with languages since I teach two of them, and I can tell you how awesome you are, and list attributes, cause I think that everybody is amazing and wonderful and great...

I'd like to learn to juggle or something like that!
