ABOUT ME

I'm a lazy bum who wastes most of his time :)
Introvert regarding serious matters, but I do have a great sense of humor and people always enjoy my company. I'm a sensitive person and don't even need a hint to know what's going on in your mind;)
Interested in almost everything.
Get bored with: horror movies, Harry Potter stuff, soccer ( I never watch sports events and I believe sports were not invented to be watched!), shopping and fashion shows (sorry girls!)
I do not appreciate stinky black/brown rivers ( where I lived, rivers were green) and I don't find tall buildings really amazing:)
I love waterfalls, rivers,(clean)beaches and mountains. After reading, my second favorite hobby is hiking.

I believe that rain is beautiful from behind the window not when you're soaking wet in the cold;the quaint Chinese village that is eye-candy to you means terrible living conditions for the poor people in those "beautiful" houses.
I can do ANYTHING except looking after myself and my belongings!
I travel without a camera.
And above all:
I'm still a kid in every sense of the word.

PHILOSOPHY

Take life as a short Journey. Do the same as you would do on your vacation. Have you noticed the difference between people traveling and people at home? The travelers smile more, are less concerned with petty issues,are more open, enjoy themselves more,are more adventurous, open and friendly. You think there's a reason for that?

Teach, Learn, Share

Interested in language exchange. Can teach you English and can help you with Persian and -if you're a beginner-German. Can help you to "convert to" Linux from holy (shitty) Windows. I have some basic medical knowledge that I'd be happy to share too. I can persuade you to shift from qwerty layout to Dvorak.
I can teach you how to be successful (just kidding!)
I'd like to learn whatever you have to offer.
